Summary
A comparative study of the alkaline phosphatase activity was made in various tissues and primordial germ cells of white mice embryos by using the histochemical method of Gomori, modified by V. V. Portugalov.
Contrary to the commonly accepted opinion it was established experimentally that high alkaline phosphatase activity is an important, but by no means a specific nor strictly constant, property of the primordial germ cells.
