Response of Normal Canine Prostate Tissue to Thermal Therapy

The goal of this study was to evaluate post-thermal stress cell survival in canine prostatic epithelial and stromal cells. Epithelial and stromal cells isolated from canine prostate were exposed to thermal stress using a water bath. Post-thermal stress cell viability was measured by flow cytometry and analyzed using FlowJo software. An ongoing analysis also measures Heat Shock Protein expression for the same stress protocols.
