摘要
Rhesus and cynomolgus macaques are currently used as ideal animal models of immune response. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules play important roles in the susceptibility and/or resistance to many diseases. In this study, MHC-DMA and -DMB were first characterized by sequencing and cloning in 28 unrelated cynomolgus macaques from Vietnam and 34 unrelated Chinese rhesus macaques. A total of 23 novel alleles, including six high frequency alleles, were identified in this study. Our results showed that the alleles with the highest phenotypic frequencies were Mafa-DMA*02:04:03 (57.1%), Mafa-DMB*03:01:02 (76.9%), Mamu-DMA*02:01:04 (88.2%), and Mamu-DMB*03:02:02 (85%), respectively, indicating that distribution and frequencies of alleles had a few differences between Chinese rhesus macaques and cynomolgus macaques from Vietnam. Interestingly, compared to the cynomolgus macaques, we found that the combination of Mamu-DMA*02:01:04-DMB*03:02:02 was detected in 27 (79.4%) of 34 monkeys, suggesting that the combination of the MHC-DMA and -DMB alleles was probably a characteristic feature of the Chinese rhesus macaques. Our results will greatly increase the value of the two species as models for biomedical research. (C) 2015 American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics. Published by Elsevier Inc.
