Abstract
Reactivities of some monoclonal antibodies to human lymphocyte surface antigens were tested on vervet monkey peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), using flow cytometry and immunoperoxidase techniques. A number of antibodies were identified which reacted with similar populations of lymphocytes from vervet monkeys. These included antibodies that define T cells, suppressor/cytotoxic cell subset, pan B cells, monocytes and MHC class I and II. A number of anti-CD4 markers examined were unsuitable for use in the vervet system.
