BACKGROUND
Blood reference values for bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata) are limited. The goal of this study was to determine reference ranges for hematological and serum biochemical indices in healthy, socially housed bonnet macaques for males and females over a range of ages.
METHODS
Blood
We describe a simple stationary digestion method of islet isolation and separation by various density gradients from monkey pancreas (Macaca radiata radiata). Effective method, different types and concentrations of collagenase were standardized. Sigma type XI collagenase yielded >1000 islets/gram
X-linked polymorphic variation of thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) is observed in several human groups. Isoelectric focusing of plasma samples labeled in vitro with [125I]thyroxin, followed by autoradiography, also reveals genetically determined polymorphic electrophoretic variation in baboon TBG.
Laboratory animal regulations provide little guidance regarding duration of nonsurvival surgery requiring aseptic technique. We hypothesized that swine would experience no sepsis during nonsurvival cardiothoracic surgery accomplished by using clean technique and lasting 8 h or less. Incision sites
