| Abstract: | Preincubation of EDTA plasma with 4mM ZnCl2 restores acidic alpha mannosidase activity, previously inhibited as a result of chelation of Zn++ by EDTA. This allows estimation of acidic alpha mannosidase activity in EDTA plasma samples, followed by granulocyte tests on those samples with low activities. |
