The reactivity of 204 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) out of 377 commercially available antibodies collected by the animal homologue group of the HLAD8 was analyzed by single colour flow cytometry. Most of these mAb were originally developed against human cell surface molecules. Fifty-eight mAb (28%) showed reactivity with spleen cells of Aotus nancymaae, a non-human primate animal model in biomedical research. Out of these 58 mAb, 22 also showed reactivity with mononuclear cells derived from rhesus macaques and cynomolgus monkeys indicating that the epitopes recognized are evolutionary conserved between human, Old and New World monkeys. This novel panel of A. nancymaae reactive mAb will increase the potential to explore complex host-pathogen interactions in non-human primate animal models, particularly in malaria vaccine research.
