Disease relevance of Saguinus

  • The aim of this study was to determine the functional relevance of alpha 4 beta 7 in the pathogenesis of colonic inflammatory disease using the colitic cotton-top tamarin, an animal model of human ulcerative colitis [1].
  • To investigate the functional implications of limited MHC class I diversity in this outbred primate species, we infected five tamarins with influenza virus and defined the CTL epitopes recognized by each individual [2].
  • Cotton-top tamarins (CTTs) with confirmed active colitis were treated with the second generation LTB4 receptor antagonist, SC-53228 ((+)-(S)-7-[3-(2-cyclopropyl-methyl)-3-methoxy-4-[(methylamino) carbonyl]phenoxy]propoxy]-3,4-dihydro-8-propyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2- propanoic acid), 20 mg/kg bodyweight by gavage, twice daily for 56 days [3].
  • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) cells (B95-8) were selected for growth in medium with reduced serum and then transferred to serum-free medium which consisted of RPMI 1640 supplemented with insulin, transferrin, and selenium [4].
  • GB virus-B (GBV-B) causes an acute hepatitis in tamarins characterized by increased alanine transaminase levels that quickly return to normal as the virus is cleared [5].

High impact information on Saguinus

  • METHODS: Chronically colitic cotton-top tamarins were given either a cross-reactive monoclonal antibody to human alpha 4 beta 7 or an irrelevant control monoclonal antibody [1].
  • Furthermore, coded sera from 10 tamarins with biopsy-proven inflammation involving colonic intestinal mucosa and in which disease activity was moderate to severe showed ECAC-specific cytotoxicity of 3.6% +/- 1.6% [8].
  • A vaccine derived from the high-molecular-weight glycoprotein (gp340) component of the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus membrane antigen conferred complete protection against a 100% lymphomagenic dose of EB virus in the cottontop tamarin, the animal of choice for experiments with EB virus [9].
  • The cotton-top tamarin was found to have a markedly reduced amount of one mucin component (IV) in a manner analogous to the reduction in a human mucin fraction previously noted in patients with ulcerative colitis [10].
  • Surprisingly, these two tamarins used different MHC class I molecules, Saoe-G*02 and -G*04, to present the M1 epitope [2].

Associations of Saguinus with chemical compounds

  • In addition to an immunodominant epitope of the viral nucleoprotein (NP) that was recognized by all individuals, two tamarins also made a response to the same epitope of the matrix (M1) protein [2].
  • Protamine 1 gene sequence from the primate Saguinus imperator isolated with PCR using consensus oligonucleotides [25].
  • The involucrin genes of the white-fronted capuchin and cottontop tamarin: the platyrrhine middle region [26].
  • Circulating bioactive LH and progesterone concentrations and fecal progesterone, pregnanediol, estradiol, and estrone concentrations were measured by collecting blood and daily fecal samples from four captive common marmoset females and four cotton-top tamarin females for 30 days [27].
  • Sexual maturation, or puberty, occurs in female tamarins living with their families between 15 and 17 mo of age when mean LH and E1C levels began to increase [28].
 

Gene context of Saguinus

  • Classical New World monkey MHC class I genes are all more similar to the nonclassical HLA-G gene and a nonclassical F-like gene is present in the cotton-top tamarin [29].
  • The region between KLK1 and KLK15 is conserved between the cotton-top tamarin and humans, and there are no signs of the extension seen in the mouse [30].
  • We have determined the sequence of CD81 from the tamarin, a primate species known to be refractory to HCV infection [20].
  • The evolution of the glandular kallikrein locus: identification of orthologs and pseudogenes in the cotton-top tamarin [30].
  • Comparison of the proportion of nonsynonymous (pN) and synonymous (pS) substitutions occurring per site within tamarin variable region genes demonstrated a reduction in pN in the framework regions compared with pN in the presumed MHC contact regions (CDR1 and CDR2) [31].
