Much of this work has been done with animal tissues, but none of the previous publications has dealt specifically with the distribution of alkaline phosphatase in the skin.

The earliest reports on the distribution of alkaline phosphatase studied by histochemical methods were those by Gomori¹ and by Takamatsu.² Gomori studied tissues from various organs, including the skin, in man and in 9 species of animals—Rhesus monkey, dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, ground hog, gopher, and hog. He noted variations in localization of alkaline phosphatase in the organs of the different species.
