Social history and exposure to pathogen signals modulate social status effects on gene regulation in rhesus macaques
2019-02-18
Abstract excerpt
Social experiences are an important predictor of disease susceptibility and survival in humans and other social mammals. Chronic social stress is thought to generate a pro-inflammatory state characterized by elevated antibacterial defenses and reduced investment in antiviral defense. Here, we manipulated long-term social status in female rhesus macaques to show that social subordination alters the gene expression...
