Abstract
Human lymphocyte antigen alloimmunization to filter leukoreduced (F-LR) platelets occurs in about 18% of immunosuppressed thrombocytopenic hematology/oncology patients and represents a significant challenge for effective chemotherapy. In a dog platelet transfusion model, we have evaluated other methods of preventing alloimmune platelet refractoriness and demonstrated that successful methods in our dog model are transferable to man. In the present study, donor/recipient pairs were dog lymphocyte antigen DR-B incompatible (88% of the pairs), and recipient dogs received up to 8 weekly treated transfusions from a single donor (a highly immunogenic stimulus), or until platelet refractoriness. Continued acceptance of F-LR platelets occurred in 6 of 13 recipients (46%), but neither γ-irradiation (γ-I; 0 of 5) nor Mirasol pathogen reduction (MPR; 1 of 7) treatment of donor platelets prevented alloimmune platelet refractoriness. Combining γ-I with F-LR was associated with only 2 of 10 (20%) recipients accepting the transfused platelets. Surprisingly, F-LR platelets that then underwent MPR were accepted by 21 of 22 (95%) recipients (P < .001 vs F-LR + γ-I recipients). Furthermore, 7 of 21 (33%) of these accepting recipients demonstrated specific tolerance to 8 more weekly donor transfusions that had not been treated. In addition, platelet concentrates prepared from F-LR + MPR whole blood were also nonimmunogenic; that is, 10 of 10 (100%) recipients accepted donor platelets. Overall, 31 of 32 (97%) recipients accepted F-LR + MPR platelets; none developed antibodies to donor lymphocytes. These data are the highest rate of acceptance for platelet transfusions reported in either animals or man. This approach to platelet transfusion may be particularly important when supporting patients with intact immune systems, such as in myelodysplastic syndromes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Three leucoreduction filters were evaluated - when used alone or combined with centrifuge leucoreduction (C-LR) - to prevent alloimmune platelet refractoriness in a dog platelet transfusion model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Donor platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or buffy coat (BC) platelets were either filter leucoreduced (F-LR) or F-LR/C-LR, (51) Cr radiolabelled and transfused. Weekly transfusions were given for up to 8 weeks or until platelet refractoriness. Recipients who accepted treated transfusions were then given non-leucoreduced (non-LR) platelets to determine whether donor-specific tolerance had been induced. RESULTS Acceptance of F-LR PRP transfusions ranged from 29% to 66%. F-LR/C-LR transfusions prepared from PRP were accepted by 92%, from BC by 63% and from pooled PRP by 75% of recipients (p=NS); overall acceptance rate of F-LR/C-LR transfusions was 83%. Tolerance to subsequent non-LR transfusions occurred in 45% of the F-LR-/C-LR-accepting recipients unrelated to DR-B compatibility between donors and recipients (P = 0·18). CONCLUSION In a dog platelet transfusion model, acceptance of donor platelets required combining F-LR with C-LR as apparently each process removes different immunizing WBCs.

Abstract
Candidate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine regimens based on DNA boosted with recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) have been in development for some time, and there is evidence for improved immunogenicity of newly developed constructs. This study describes immune responses to candidate DNA and MVA vaccines expressing multiple genes (gag, RT, tat, nef and env) from HIV-1 subtype C in chacma baboons (Papio ursinus). The vaccine regimen induced (i) strong T-cell responses, with a median of 4103 spot forming units per 10(6) peripheral blood mononuclear cells by gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) ELISPOT, (ii) broad T-cell responses targeting all five vaccine-expressed genes, with a median of 12 peptides targeted per animal and without any single protein dominating the response, (iii) balanced CD4(+) and CD8(+) responses, which produced both IFN-gamma and interleukin (IL)-2, including IL-2-only responses not detected by the ELISPOT assay, (iv) vaccine memory, which persisted 1 year after immunization and could be boosted further, despite strong anti-vector responses, and (v) mucosal T-cell responses in iliac and mesenteric lymph nodes in two animals tested. The majority of peptide responses mapped contained epitopes previously identified in human HIV infection, and two high-avidity HIV epitope responses were confirmed, indicating the utility of the baboon model for immunogenicity testing. Together, our data show that a combination of DNA and MVA immunization induced robust, durable, multifunctional CD4(+) and CD8(+) responses in baboons targeting multiple HIV epitopes that may home to mucosal sites. These candidate vaccines, which are immunogenic in this pre-clinical model, represent an alternative to adenoviral-based vaccines and have been approved for clinical trials.

Abstract
The MHC class II genes of many primate species were investigated extensively in recent years. However, while Mhc-DRB genes were studied in Old World monkeys such as rhesus macaques, the Mhc-DRB of baboons was only studied in a limited way. Because of their close anatomical and physiological relationship to humans, baboons are often used as models for reproduction and transplantation research. Baboons are also studied as a model species in behavioural ecology. Thus, identification of MHC genes would provide a foundation for studies of Mhc, biology and behaviour. Here, we describe the use of PCR, cloning, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequencing to identify Mhc-DRB sequences in wild chacma baboons (Papio ursinus). We amplified the highly variable second exon of baboon Mhc-DRB sequences using generic DRB primers. To validate and optimize the DGGE protocol, four DNA samples were initially studied using cloning and sequencing. Clones were screened using a novel RFLP approach to increase the number of clones identified for each individual. Results from cloning and sequencing were used to optimise DGGE conditions for Mhc-DRB genotyping of the remaining study subjects. Using these techniques, we identified 16 Paur-DRB sequences from 30 chacma baboons. On the basis of phylogenetic tree analyses, representatives of the Mhc-DRB1 and Mhc-DRB5 loci, and 13 different DRB lineages were identified. Evidence for trans-species inheritance of some Mhc-DRB sequences comes from high identity between the new Paur-DRB sequences and sequences from Papio cynocephalus, Macaca mulatta and possibly Galago moholi.

Abstract
Cynomolgus monkey is one of the macaque species currently used as an animal model for experimental surgery and medicine, in particular, to experiment new drugs or therapy protocols designed for the prevention of allograft rejection. In this field, it is of utmost importance to select histoincompatible recipient-donor pairs. One way to ensure incompatibility between donor and recipient is to check their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genotypes at the loci playing a determinant role in histocompatibility. We report in this paper on the cynomolgus monkey DRB polymorphism evidenced by sequencing of amplified exon 2 separated either by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), or by cloning. By the study of 253 unrelated animals from two populations (Mauritius and The Philippines), we characterized 50 exon 2 sequences among which 28 were identical to sequences already reported in Macaca fascicularis or other macaque species (Macaca mulatta, Macaca nemestrina). By cloning and sequencing DRB cDNA, we revealed two additional DRB alleles. Out of the 20 haplotypes that we defined here, only two were found in both populations. The functional impact of DR incompatibility was studied in vitro by mixed lymphocyte culture.

Abstract
By determining the nucleotide sequences of more than 700 cDNA clones isolated from 16 cynomolgus monkeys, we identified 26 Mafa-B alleles. In addition, nine sequences with similarity to Mamu-I alleles were identified. Since multiple Mafa-B alleles were found in each individual, it was strongly suggested that the cynomolgus MHC class I B locus might be duplicated and that the Mafa-I locus was derived from the B locus by gene duplication, as in the case of the Mamu-I locus of rhesus monkeys.

Abstract
A new DRB1 allele, DRB1*0902, has been identified in an individual of the Jing ethnic minority. Its sequence was confirmed by sequencing of PCR products and clones. This allele differed by three nucleotides from DRB1*09012 at positions 157, 161 and 166, and resulted in amino acid motif substitution from VAES to DAEY.

Abstract
The potential for using macaques to create a nonhuman primate diabetic model was investigated. The significant objectives were to determine a) prognosis of STZ induced permanent beta cell destruction in nonhuman primates, and b) the potential to use STZ treated animals in a model of autoimmune diabetes by following adoptively transferred lymphocytes into MHC identical macaques. Beta cell impairment was achieved by a single intravenous, low dose (10-40 mg/kg body weight) streptozotocin injection in a majority of pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Multiple injections, even at low doses at close intervals affected liver and kidney functions in addition to beta cell destruction. Abnormal IVGTT were observed in all streptozotocin-treated animals, in some within a week to 10 days. The fasting blood glucose levels rose from <70 mg/dl in pre-STZ stage to above 400 mg/dl in severely diabetic macaques. Histological evidence suggests loss of beta cells when animals were euthanized within two to four weeks post-STZ treatment. Near complete destruction of beta cells was observed in animals maintained longer than three months on insulin. Donor T cells from STZ-treated animals were incubated overnight with 10U/ml IL-2 and 2.5 ug/ml PHA and then injected iv into a MHC-identical non-diabetic sibling. Three weeks later a second injection of donor PMBC labeled with vital dye Cell Tracker Green was given and the animal was euthanized after 24 hours. The recipient showed labeled donor T cells in the pancreas, spleen and peripheral blood, consistent with specific homing of activated lymphocytes from the diabetic donor.

Abstract
In the HLA-DRB subregion of man, five major groups of haplotypes, often displaying a remarkable polymorphism, are distinguishable. The polymorphism is thought to be generated by point mutation, microgene conversion and gene rearrangement by recombination. In order to gain insight into the organization of the rhesus macaque major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region, DRB genes from monkeys of different origins previously typed for their DQ genes were analyzed. At first DRB haplotypes were deduced from DQ-homozygous monkeys. The stability of these haplotypes was then examined in DQ-heterozygous monkeys by sequence-based typing for the presence of members of the DRB1*03 and DRB1*04 lineage, and for seven single alleles detected on the haplotypes. Six DRB haplotypes linked to the five most frequent and three haplotypes linked to less frequent DQ haplotypes were identified. Six novel DRB alleles were detected. The number of DRB genes per haplotype varied between two and four. The results altogether suggest that in rhesus macaques, in comparison to man, the DQ haplotypes are linked to only a small number of DRB haplotypes, the number and diversity of DRB haplotypes is larger, and the allelic polymorphism of a given haplotype is smaller. The diversity of the DRB haplotypes was partly due to the varying number and identity of genes linked to DRB1*03 and DRB1*04. Furthermore, the number of DRB1 genes themselves varied from zero to two.

Abstract
DRB genes have been studied for the first time in green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops). Eleven new DRB alleles (exon 2, exon 3) have been obtained and sequenced from cDNA. A limited number of lineages have been identified: DRB1*03 (4 alleles), DRB1*07 (3 alleles), DRB5 (1 allele), DRB*w6 (1 allele), and DRB*w7 (2 alleles). The existence of Ceae-DRB1 duplications is supported by the finding of 3 DRB1 alleles in 3 different individuals. Ceae-DRB1*0701 may be non-functional because it bears serine at position 82, which hinders molecule surface expression in mice; the allele is only found in Ceae-DRB duplicated haplotypes. Base changes in cDNA Ceae-DRB alleles are consistent with the generation of polymorphism by point mutations or short segment exchanges between alleles. The eleven green monkey DRB alleles meet the requirements for functionality as antigen-presenting molecules (perhaps, excluding DRB1*0701), since: 1) they have been isolated from cDNA and do not present deletions, insertions or stop codons: 2) structural motifs necessary for a correct folding of the molecule, for the formation of DR/DR dimers and for CD4 interactions are conserved, and 3) the number of non-synonymous substitutions is higher than the number of synonymous substitutions in the peptide binding region (PBR), while the contrary holds true for the non-PBR region.

Abstract
The MHC DQ region in nonhuman primates, as in humans, consists of alpha and beta chains that are polymorphic with strong linkage disequilibrium between certain DQA-DQB alleles. Not only are contemporary HLA class II allelic variants present in evolutionarily distant species, but we demonstrate that linkages between loci also bear ancient roots. In unrelated baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis) and family segregation analysis of pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) we found cis-linkages between DQA1*01 and DQB1*05 or *06, between DQA1*05 and DQB1*03, and between DQA1*03 and DQB1*03 alleles, all of which are also prominent in modern humans. In contrast, one linkage that has not been seen in humans, between DQA1*05 and DQB1*06 alleles, was also found. These patterns of selective linkage disequilibrium imply evolutionary mechanisms following the divergence of species that constrain the diversity of haplotypes which evolve.
