β¦ Synopsis
A sensitive competition radioimmunoassay using 125 I-labelled p 30 interspecies antigen, antiserum specific to the interspecies antigen of the feline leukaemia virus, and aqueous tissue extracts from prostate was used to examine benign hyperplastic prostates for the presence of protein components able to complete with the interspecies viral antigens. Six of 20 prostatic nodular hyperplastic tissues were competitive in radioimmunoassay with the 125 I-labelled viral antigen for binding sites on the antiviral antibodies. These findings suggest the presence of oncornavirus-like proteins in prostatic nodular hyperplasia. No correlation could be made between the presence of competing protein and histological features of acute or chronic prostatitis and squamous metaplasia.

A procedure is described which yields a significant percentage of long-term mixed cell cultures of human prostatic tissue. Attempts were made to suppress the proliferation of stromal fibroblasts and to characterize the cultured cells as those of prostatic origin. The problems associated with establi
## BACKGROUND. In an effort to identify biomarker(s) for prostatic cancer (PCa), we analyzed the changes of secretory proteins in the ventral prostate (VP) of Noble rats at early stages of carcinogenesis. METHODS. Ventral prostates were removed from both control (n = 36) and experimental (n = 88) r

## Abstract In hope of eventually identifying defects in human prostatic neoplasias that render them insensitive to antiβandrogen therapy, we have examined the regulation of components of ligandβinduced cell death pathways during castrationβinduced regression of the prostate. Rat prostates were obt
