Improved agarose electrophoretic method for separating alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in serum

Department of Clinical Chemistry, Antwerp University Hospital (UZA), Edegem, Belgium.

A modified agarose electrophoretic system for the separation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP, EC 3.1.3.1) isoenzymes is described. Bone, liver, high-molecular-mass, and intestinal ALP are separated with high reproducibility. The sensitivity of the agarose system is superior to cellulose acetate in detecting high-Mr ALP. Correlation is good between bone ALP fractions scanned before and after treatment with neuraminidase. Immunoglobulin-bound ALPs, the ALP-lipoprotein-X complex, and the additional ALP fraction observed in transient hyperphosphatasemia in children are detected by their peculiar electrophoretic mobility in the proposed system. Approximately 25% of the samples contained an additional fraction of intestinal-type ALP, as evidenced by neuraminidase treatment and use of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Because the electrophoretic mobilities of this "intestinal variant" and of some immunoglobulin-bound ALP fractions are identical to those of bone and intestinal ALP, respectively, treatment of the samples with a polyclonal antibody that reacts with intestinal ALP is advised.
