title: In vitro survival of howler monkey (Alouatta caraya) and other simian lymphocytes.
abstract: Lymphoid cell cultures from normal howler monkey (Alouatta caraya) lymph nodes or peripheral blood were found to survive for over four months. Several-fold increase in cell numbers occurred during the first two months of culture. The cells were predominantly of T-cell origin. Herpes or C-type virus or viral genomes were not detected in these lymphoid type cultures.
