Open AccessNuclear versus mitochondrial DNA: evidence for hybridization in colobine monkeys
Colobine monkeys constitute a diverse group of primates with major radiations in Africa and Asia. However, phylogenetic relationships among genera are under debate, and recent molecular studies with incomplete...

Sequence analysis of the grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) MHC class II DQ and DR region
We here report the genomic organisation of the grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) MHC class II DQ and DR region based on BAC clone analysis. The sequenced Mimu-MHC haplotype spans 343 kb and encompasses the ge...

Open AccessActivity-dependent regulation of MHC class I expression in the develo** primary visual cortex of the common marmoset monkey
Several recent studies have highlighted the important role of immunity-related molecules in synaptic plasticity processes in the develo** and adult mammalian brains. It has been suggested that neuronal MHCI ...

Open AccessNeuronal MHC Class I Molecules are Involved in Excitatory Synaptic Transmission at the Hippocampal Mossy Fiber Synapses of Marmoset Monkeys
Several recent studies suggested a role for neuronal major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecules in certain forms of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus of rodents. Here, we report for the fir...

Open AccessErratum to: Rhesus macaque MHC class I molecules show differential subcellular localizations
The MHC class I gene family of rhesus macaques is characterised by considerable gene duplications. While a HLA-C-orthologous gene is absent, the Mamu-A and in particular the Mamu-B genes have expanded, giving ris...

Characterization of rhesus macaque KIR genotypes and haplotypes
Certain combinations of the killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and major histocompatibility complex class I ligands in humans predispose carriers to a variety of diseases, requiring sophisticated genot...

Open AccessMitochondrial evidence for multiple radiations in the evolutionary history of small apes
Gibbons or small apes inhabit tropical and subtropical rain forests in Southeast Asia and adjacent regions, and are, next to great apes, our closest living relatives. With up to 16 species, gibbons form the mo...

Open AccessDifferent subcellular localisations of TRIM22 suggest species-specific function
The B30.2/SPRY domain is present in many proteins, including various members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family such as TRIM5α, which mediates innate intracellular resistance to retroviruses in several...

Open AccessPhylogenetic position of the langur genera Semnopithecus and Trachypithecus among Asian colobines, and genus affiliations of their species groups
The evolutionary history of the Asian colobines is less understood. Although monophyly of the odd-nosed monkeys was recently confirmed, the relationships among the langur genera Presbytis, Semnopithecus and Trach...

Genoty** and segregation analyses indicate the presence of only two functional MIC genes in rhesus macaques
MIC molecules are stress-inducible ligands of the activating receptor NKG2D, which is expressed on natural killer cells and subsets of T lymphocytes. In rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), three dif...

Open AccessMolecular phylogeny and taxonomic revision of the sportive lemurs (Lepilemur, Primates)
The number of species within the Malagasy genus Lepilemur and their phylogenetic relationships is disputed and controversial. In order to establish their evolutionary relationships, a comparative cytogenetic and ...

Considerable haplotypic diversity in the RT1-CE class I gene region of the rat major histocompatibility complex
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region extending between the Bat1 and Pou5f1 genes shows considerable genomic plasticity in mouse and rhesus macaque but not in human haplotypes. In the rat, thi...
