Abstract excerpt
Mesenchyme from neonatal mouse and rat seminal vesicles (SVM) was grown in association with postnatal (adult) epithelial cells from the ureter (URE) and ductus deferens (DDE) in chimeric tissue recombinants composed of mouse mesenchyme and rat epithelium or vice versa. Functional cytodifferentiation was examined in these SVM + URE and SVM + DDE tissue recombinants with antibodies against major androgen-dependent...
