Type II alveolar epithelial cells show high levels of acid phosphatase, aryl sulfatase B and β-glucuronidase activities. In formalin- and glutaraldehyde-fixed rabbit lung acid phosphatase and aryl sulfatase B activities were demonstrated in the cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, supporting their identification as lysosomes. Type II cells differ from alveolar macrophages in their levels of hydrolase activity and the fine structure of their active sites.

Homogenous transplants of urinary bladder mucosa were made in guinea pigs, and induced bone formation was observed histochemically for alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, esterase, β-glucuronidase, aminopeptidase, and oxidative enzymes, i.e., succinic dehydrogenase, diphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenase (lactate, malate, glutamate, α-glycerophosphate, β-hydroxybutyrate) and triphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenase (glucose-6-phosphate and isocitrate). Normal urinary bladder epithelium contained intense alkaline phosphatase and slight acid phosphatase activity throughout. There was weak esterase activity in intermediate layer and weak β-glucuronidase activity in intermediate layer. Succinic dehydrogenase was present throughout the epithelium, and was most active in the basal layer. Lactic and malic dehydrogenase activities were intense. Glutamic, α-glycerophosphate and β-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase activities were low, but glucose-6-phosphate and isocitric dehydrogenase activities were high. In the initial stage after transplantation, alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase and lactic dehydrogenase appeared in the connective tissue surrounding the transplanted mucosa in association with an inflammatory infiltration. Epithelial transplants formed cysts. Lactic, malic and triphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenases in cystic epithelium were as intense as in normal bladder, though other enzymes decreased. Hyaline formation occurred around the cyst. No appreciable enzyme activity was demonstrated in this hyalinized portion, but when bone appeared marked activity of alkaline and acid phosphatases was seen around it. Histochemical patterns in the induced bone were essentially the same as in normal bone.

In rabbit heterophils, acid phosphatase activity occurs in primary (azurophil) granules which predominate in early cells and persist in mature cells and in tertiary granules which are seen only in mature cells. Alkaline phosphatase activity occurs in secondary granules which appear in intermediate heterophils and later predominate in mature cells. Acid phosphatase activity in heterophil Golgi zones coincides developmentally with the genesis of primary and, later, tertiary granules, whereas alkaline phosphatase in the Golgi complex coincides with secondary granulogenesis. In developing eosinophils, acid phosphatase reaction product occurs in Golgi elements, rims the spherical precursors of angular, mature granules and appears inconsistently within mature granules. Basophil myelocytes show acid phosphatase in Golgi elements but not in specific granules. Additional acid phosphatase reactive structures include: granules of mononuclear cells; phagocytic vacuoles in macrophages; autophagic vacuoles in maturing erythroid cells; small dense granules of platelets; dense bodies in lipocytes; and Golgi elements of mononuclear cells, macrophages, nucleated red cells, megakaryocytes and lipocytes. Localized deposits were absent in control specimens except for enzyme-independent nuclear staining in alkaline phosphatase preparations.
