Immunohistochemical distribution of leucocyte antigens in lymphoid tissues of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis).
Crossreactivity of antibodies to human leucocyte antigens with lymphoid tissues of cynomolgus monkeys was studied by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Of a total of 54 clusters of differentiation (CD) antigens, 39 were expressed essentially with the same immunostaining patterns in the monkey as in human lymphoid tissues. By immunoblotting L26 (CD20) detected a 35 Kd molecule in the monkey lymph node. Our observations indicated that most of the CD antigens are expressed and can be studied in lymphoid tissues of cynomolgus monkeys.
