Identification of the major histocompatibility complex class-II DM and DO alleles in a cohort of northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina).
Immunogenetics 2018 April
The northern pig-tailed macaque (Macaca leonina) has been considered as an independent species from the pig-tailed macaque group. We have previously reported that this species macaque has the potential to be a useful animal model in HIV/AIDS pathogenesis and vaccine studies due to its susceptibility to HIV-1. To develop this animal into a potential HIV/AIDS model, we have studied the classical MHC genes of this animal. In this study, the non-classical MHC genes Malo-DM and Malo-DO alleles were first characterized by sequencing and cloning in 12 unrelated northern pig-tailed macaques. A total of 20 full-length sequences identified include 4 Malo-DMA, 5 Malo-DMB, 7 Malo-DOA, and 4 Malo-DOB alleles. Most of these allele sequences were shared between northern pig-tailed macaque and other macaque species in exon 2. The full-length MHC-DM and MHC-DO sequences provide more comprehensive analysis of immunogenetics of northern pig-tailed macaques and increase the value of the macaques in further biomedical studies.
