Abstract excerpt
Non-human primates (NHPs) are increasingly utilized as models to investigate different aspects of immune responses against self (autoimmunity) and foreign antigens. These animals provide valuable models for testing the efficacy of candidate vaccines against pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and also fertility regulating agents (immunocontraceptives). In order to fully understand the effects of...
