Summary A method for growing human prostatic tissue in immunosuppressed mice has been described. Many viable specimens were obtained from 2 weeks to 2 months after implantation. The implications of the method as a laboratory method for screening agents suitable for treating human BPH is discussed and the method is compared with other methods for the in vitro and in vitro study of human prostatic tissue.
