Abstract excerpt

Non-human primates such as rhesus macaque and cynomolgus macaque are important animals for medical research fields and they are classified as Old World monkey, in which genome structure is characterized by gene duplications. In the present study, we investigated polymorphisms in two genes for ULBP2 molecules that are ligands for NKG2D. A total of 15 and 11 ULBP2.1 alleles and 11 and 10 ULBP2.2 alleles were...
