Abstract:
In order to get an insight into androgen-mediated differentiation and development of the prostate, we detected the androgen receptor (AR) mRNA in the urogenital sinus of human foetuses at 12 and 16 weeks of gestation. Cytoplasmic dot hybridization using radiolabelled cDNA probe for human androgen receptor (AR) was performed. The AR mRNA could be detected at 12 weeks of gestation and its level was higher at 16 weeks of gestation.
