Protocol for transducing human primary epithelial prostate cells and patient-derived organoids with high efficiency.

Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are now used to study many diseases, including prostate cancer. Here, we present a protocol for the transduction of human epithelial prostate cells and PDOs. We describe the steps for producing lentiviruses and transducing PDOs with high efficiency to obtain either overexpression or knockdown of specific genes. More generally, this protocol represents an efficient lentiviral transduction technique to study cell biology using various organoid models.
