Abstract
NEUTROPHIL alkaline phosphatase (NAP) activity is a useful diagnostic tool in clinical haematology, although the biological significance of observed differences is unexplained. Furthermore, differences in this activity are characteristically found in different species of mammals1 and suggest a species-linked genetic control of the type of non-specific alkaline phosphatase demonstrated by histochemical methods.
