During evaluation of a procedure for separating rat ventral prostate epithelial from connective tissue cells, isolated fractions were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Characteristic C-type RNA viruses were seen budding from or in close proximity to the plasma membranes of isolated epithelial cells. Dissociation of rat prostate cells and concentration of the epithelial fraction facilitated detection of this virus.
