Spontaneous, naturally occurring cancers in non-human primates as a translational model for cancer immunotherapy by Maurizio Ceppi, Bruno Gomes, Simon Deycmar, Jehad Charo, J Mark Cline

“…Thus, these tumor-bearing monkeys (TBMs) have the potential to bridge the experimental gap between early preclinical cancer models and patients with human cancer.This review presents our current knowledge of NHP immunology, the incidence and features of naturally-occurring cancers in NHP, and recent TBM trials investigating CIT to provide a scientific rationale for this unique model for human cancer.…”

To what extent are call combinations in chimpanzees comparable to syntax in humans? by Maël Leroux

“…However, evidence for combinatorial capacities in a wide variety of species, such as birds and monkeys, has challenged this assumption. Nevertheless, a contentious debate surrounding the evolutionary origins of syntax remains, specifically whether the combinatorial capacities displayed in animals merely illustrate a case of convergent evolution or whether it could also represent, within the primate lineage, a homologous trait to syntax in humans. …”

Lipopolysaccharide Increases Immune Activation and Alters T Cell Homeostasis in SHIVB’WHU Chronically Infected Chinese Rhesus Macaque by Gao-Hong Zhang, Run-Dong Wu, Hong-Yi Zheng, Xiao-Liang Zhang, Ming-Xu Zhang, Ren-Rong Tian, Guang-Ming Liu, Wei Pang, Yong-Tang Zheng

“…The downregulated effector memory cells are associated with a lower frequency of monofunctional and polyfunctional cells, and an upregulated programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) expression on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was observed in monkeys after LPS stimulation. Our data provide new insights into the function of LPS in the immune activation in SHIV/HIV infection.…”

A humanized anti-MSLN×4-1BB bispecific antibody exhibits potent antitumour activity through 4-1BB signaling activation and fc function without systemic toxicity by Da-yan Zhang, Zhi-hua Zhang, Wen-ting Liu, Wei-ming Zhou, Peng-fei Zhou, Juan-juan Wei, Xue-jing Dai, Xiao-li Zeng, Yu-qiong Zhou, Han-wang Li, Heng Zhang, Ao-lin Shen, Lian-sheng Cheng, Guo-dong Shen, Yi-fu He

“…In vivo antitumour activity was assessed by establishing humanized mice bearing human MSLN-expressing MC38 (MC38/hMSLN) or CT26 (CT26/hMSLN) cells, and safety was further evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Results We generated two humanized anti-MSLN×4-1BB bsAbs (HK013-G1/G4) by fusing an anti-4-1BB scFv to the C-terminus of an anti-MSLN VHH with an intact Fc fragment from human IgG1 or IgG4. …”

Alu-Sc-mediated exonization generated a mitochondrial LKB1 gene variant found only in higher order primates by Ivan Tan, Sonia Chothani, Hong-Hwa Lim, Kong-Peng Lam

“…While putative exon 1b sequences are recognizable in most members of the primate family from New World Monkeys onwards, characteristically functional LKB1/STK11 exon 1b, with translation start and 5ʹ and 3ʹ splice sites, could only be found in greater apes and human, and interestingly, correlates with their increased body mass and longevity development.…”

A PAF receptor antagonist inhibits acute airway inflammation and late-phase responses but not chronic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in a primate model of asthma by R. H. Gundel, C. D. Wegner, H. O. Heuer, L. G. Letts

“…In contrast, a multiple dosing regime with WEB 2170 (once a day for 7 consecutive days) failed to reduce the chronic airway inflammation (eosinophilic) and associated airway hyperresponsiveness to inhaled methacholine that is characteristic of dual responder monkeys. Thus, we conclude that the generation of PAF following antigen inhalation contributes to the development of lipid mediators, acute airway inflammation and associated late-phase airway obstruction in dual responder primates; however, PAF does not play a significant role in the maintenance of chronic airway inflammation and associated airway hyperresponsiveness in this primate model.…”
