title: Immunogenetic characterization of a captive colony of sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) used for SIV research.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  African non-human primates are SIV natural hosts and do not develop disease following infection. Understanding disease avoidance mechanisms in these species is important for HIV vaccine development. The largest captive population of sooty mangabeys, a SIV natural host species, resides at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirteen primer sets that amplify polymorphic microsatellite loci within the MHC region were used to genotype 144 animals. Immunogenetic Management Software (IMS) was used to identify MHC haplotypes and organize data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seventy-three haplotypes were identified. Limited haplotype diversity was observed in this population with 88.2% of included animals carrying one of 18 haplotypes. Differences in haplotype frequency were observed between SIV (+) and SIV (-) populations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We have developed a novel tool for others to use in the analysis of the role of the MHC in a natural host non-human primate model species used for SIV research.
