Short-term incubation (30 min) in substrate-containing reaction medium showed intense and specific activity of TR-ACPase only in a small number of mononuclear cells, presumably pre-osteoclasts, present around a population of differentiating osteoblasts. Pre-incubation with tartrate and subsequent incubation of reaction medium resulted in slightly increased intensity in the preosteoclasts and also weak enzyme activity in other cells such as oral and dental epithelia, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes of Meckel's cartilage. Pre-incubation with tartrate and subsequent incubation with reaction medium may result in overestimation of the histochemical products. Therefore short-term incubation is important to estimate the enzyme activity exactly in TR-ACPase histochemistry. especially in osteoblasts.}, pages = {205--208}, title = {Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity induced by pre-incubation with tartrate in mouse embryonic mandibles}, volume = {16}, year = {1997} }
