چکیده
T HE SPONTANEOUS DEVELOPMENT of leukemia in a subhuman primate is an uncommon occurrence. Whereas ionizing radiation will predictably induce leukemia in certain strains of mice and rats and is associated with human leukemia, as far as we could ascertain, there are only two previously reported cases of leukemia associated with ionizing radiation in primates.1’2 The purpose of this report is to document a case of acute granulocytic leukemia in a rhesus monkey following whole-body proton irradiation.

متن کاملgamma-photon irradiated rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have been used as non-human primate (NHP) models for a number of stress-related situations [1, 8, 9, 11, 16, 17, 21]. A key aspect of United States (US) animal welfare regulations [18, 19] is that pain, distress, and discomfort should be minimized whenever possible. The refinement of our experimental procedures is an important technique to improve animal welfare...

متن کاملA Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Urine from Gamma-Irradiated Non-Human Primates.
The molecular effects of total body gamma-irradiation exposure are of critical importance as large populations of people could be exposed either by terrorists, nuclear blast, or medical therapy. In this study, we aimed to identify changes in the urine proteome using a non-human primate model system, Rhesus macaque, in order to characterize effects of acute radiation syndrome following whole bod...

BACKGROUND Rhesus monkey models are valuable to the studies of human biology. Reference values for clinical chemistry and hematology parameters of rhesus monkeys are required for proper data interpretation. METHODS Whole blood was collected from 36 healthy Chinese rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) of either sex, 3 to 5 yr old. Routine chemistry and hematology parameters, and some special coagul...
