## BACKGROUND. Organ culture methods have long been used in the study of the prostate because effects of drugs and hormones can be examined in the absence of systemic effects. METHODS. Neonatal rat ventral prostates (VP) were grown on Millipore filters floating on fluid medium composed of Dulbecco
## BACKGROUND. Urologists are looking for a way to easily discriminate between aggressive and very slow-growing prostate tumors. A sound way to appreciate such developing activities would be to identify an appropriate cell marker in prostate explants maintained in a defined culture system. METHODS
The proliferation of adult oligodendrocytes (OLGs) was examined in response to membrane bound and soluble mitogens. OLGs were isolated according to Vick, et al., J Neurosci Res 25524534, 1990, and co-cultured with dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). Less than 5 % of the total cells incorporated a 48 hr puls
## Abstract Organ explants from the canine prostate with and without methylprednisolone pretreatment were cultivated for ten days in Trowell's Tβ8 medium or medium supplemented with testosterone and/or vitamin A. Upon termination of the experiments, explants were fixed and examined histologically.
