Gene targeting in adult rhesus macaque fibroblasts
BACKGROUND Gene targeting in nonhuman primates has the potential to produce critical animal models for translational studies related to human diseases. Successful gene targeting in fibroblasts followed by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been achieved in several species of large mammals but not yet in primates. Our goal was to establish the protocols necessary to achieve gene targeting ...
متن کاملGene expression profiling in the rhesus macaque: experimental design considerations.
The development of species-specific gene microarrays has greatly facilitated gene expression profiling in nonhuman primates. However, to obtain accurate and physiologically meaningful data from these microarrays, one needs to consider several factors when designing the studies. This article focuses on effective experimental design while the companion article focuses on methodology and data anal...
متن کاملIdentifying rhesus macaque gene orthologs using heterospecific human CNV probes
We used the Affymetrix(®) Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 to identify heterospecific markers and compare copy number and structural genomic variation between humans and rhesus macaques. Over 200,000 human copy number variation (CNV) probes were mapped to a Chinese and an Indian rhesus macaque sample. Observed genomic rearrangements and synteny were in agreement with the results of a previously ...
متن کاملRhesus macaque IFITM3 gene polymorphisms and SIV infection
Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) have been recognized as important antiviral effectors of the innate immune system, both in cell culture and in infected humans. In particular, polymorphisms of the human IFITM3 gene have been shown to affect disease severity and progression in influenza A virus (FLUAV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, respectively. Rhesus macaq...
متن کاملtransplantation of adult monkey neural stem cells into a contusion spinal cord injury model in rhesus macaque monkeys
objective: currently, cellular transplantation for spinal cord injuries (sci) is the subject of numerous preclinical studies. among the many cell types in the adult brain, there is a unique subpopulation of neural stem cells (nsc) that can self-renew and differentiate into neurons. the study aims, therefore, to explore the efficacy of adult monkey nsc (mnsc) in a primate sci model. materials an...
