Abstract
IN 1961 we published1 a method for the histochemical localization of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) in the organs of experimental rodents and in man. Independently, a few months later, similar results were reported by Glenner, Folk and McMillan2,3, who in contrast to our findings1,4 also discovered GGTP activity in the bronchi and bronchioles of the rat.
