Summary

The red cell acid-phosphatase types were determined in 495 individuals from Tuscany, Italy.

The observed frequencies of the three alleles are: ACP supAinf1 =0.271; ACP supBinf1 =0.665 and ACP supCinf1 =0.064.

The results obtained by starch-gel thin layer elcetrophoresis and 4 methyl-umbelliferyl-phosphate as fluorogenic substrate are very satisfactory for forensic purposes also.

Zusammenfassung

Die sauren Erythrocytenphosphatase-Arten wurden bei 495 Personen aus der Toskana bestimmt.

Die beobachteten Frequenzen der drei Allelen sind: ACP supAinf1 =0,271, ACP supBinf1 =0,665 und ACP supCinf1 =0,064.

Die erzielten Ergebnisse durch Stärkegel-Dünnschicht-Elektrophoresis und 4 methyl-umbelliferyl-phosphate als fluorogenisches Substrat sind auch für forensische Zwecke sehr zufriedenstellend.
