Abstract: | 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. |
