      Abstract

      A simple, reproducible method for the determination of serum acid phosphatase activity has been described. The measurement of enzyme activity may be carried out with as little as 0.05 ml. of serum. It is tentatively proposed that serum acid phosphatase levels above 1.50 micromole units be considered pathologic.
