Abstract
AbstractHuman diploid cell strains develop progressively higher levels of specific catalase activity as they grow. Following subculture activity falls again. A diploid cell strain heterozygous for the gene for acatalasia I (acatalasemia) was found to develop specific catalase activity at proportionately the same rate as normal cell strains. Yet the mutant gene reduced the absolute level of specific catalase activity which the culture attained at any given point in time. In this respect the heterozygous acatalasia I strain resembles the homozygous acatalasia II strain previously reported.
