Abstract excerpt
A New World monkey, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), will be used as a preclinical animal model to study the feasibility of cell and gene therapy targeting immunological and hematological disorders. For elucidating the immunogenetic background of common marmoset to further studies, in the present study, polymorphisms of MHC-DRB genes in this species were examined. Twenty-one Caja-DRB exon 2 alleles,...
