The intracellular localization of the tartrate-resistant purple acid phosphatase in osteoclasts of developing rat bone has been determined immunocytochemically using an antiserum to the purified bone-derived purple acid phosphatase. The localization of the immunoreactivity was compared with the results of enzyme histochemistry using p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate and 10 mM tartrate. Both methods revealed the presence of the enzyme in numerous vesicles of various sizes up to 2-3 microns in diameter and in granules. There was no immunoreactivity in the Golgi apparatus, and tartrate completely inhibited the histochemical activity of this organelle. No consistent extracellular activity could be detected, nor was any reaction product observed at the ruffled border. The localization of the tartrate-resistant purple acid phosphatase in osteoclasts is consistent with an intracellular function for this enzyme.
