Abstract
The increasing interest in the beta-glucuronidase activity of body tissues and fluids in health and disease has made urgent the report of an adequate control series. A systematic study of vaginal fluid and cervical biopsy specimens has been undertaken in this laboratory on several groups of women in an attempt to establish the base line control levels for normal women. The findings and a discussion of the present concepts of their physiologic import are reported in this, the first of our series of papers on this subject. The method for collecting the specimens and the procedure for handling the material will be described in detail, together with an analysis of the results in a study of 500 nonpregnant, noncancerous women.1Subsequent papers in this series will deal with additional aspects of the beta-glucuronidase activity of tissues, fluid and venous blood in physiologic and pathologic states in women. Beta-glucuronidase is
