Abstract excerpt
Non-human primates are important for preclinical vaccine evaluation. In depth characterization of the antibody response requires representative immunoglobulin (IG) germline gene databases for correct gene and allele assignments and assessment of affinity maturation of antigen-specific antibodies. Current IG-reference databases do not cover the genetic diversity observed in frequently used macaque species and it...
