    <p>(A) Sequence of the intron 6/exon 7 junction, showing the splice site SNP and the <i>NsiI</i> polymorphism, in a macaque that expresses TRIMCyp (<i>M. nemestrina</i>, GenBank EU371641.1); a macaque lacking TRIMCyp (<i>M. mulatta</i> sequenced genome, GenBank NC_007871.1); and baboons (<i>Papio</i>, GenBank HM468444-HM468446). Capital letters, exon; lowercase letters; intron. Box, splice acceptor site. DNA from both <i>P. cynocephalus anubis</i> and <i>P. hamadryas</i> was sequenced, and all sequences were identical in the region shown here. (B) PCR across the <i>TRIM5</i> 3′ UTR (Primers 3 and 6) in <i>P. cynocephalus anubis</i> (4 individuals, lanes 1–4) and <i>P. hamadryas</i> (lane 5). Three <i>M. fascicularis</i> of known genotypes were used as controls. Lane 6, <i>CypA</i> insertion heterozygote. Lane 7, homozygote with <i>CypA</i> insertion. Lane 8, homozygote lacking <i>CypA</i> insertion. (C) RT-PCR for TRIM5α (lanes 1, 3, and 5) and TRIMCyp (lanes 2, 4, and 6) in cDNA from 3 <i>P. cynocephalus anubis</i>.</p

Three <i>M. fascicularis</i> of known genotype were used as controls (last 3 lanes of both parts A and B). (C) RT-PCR for TRIM5 (left lanes) and TRIMCyp (right lanes) in cDNA from 36 <i>M. sylvanus</i>. Mfa, <i>M. fascicularis</i> heterozygote expressing both TRIM5 and TRIMCyp. –RT, <i>M. sylvanus</i> sample run without reverse transcriptase.</p

    Vβ11 and 6B11 phenotypes of Vα24+ cells among PBMCs from pig-tailed macaques.

    <p>One million PBMCs were incubated with anti-Vα24-PE together with either anti-Vβ11-FITC or 6B11-FITC followed by flow cytometric analysis, as described in Fig. 1.</p

    α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet+CD3+ cells among PBMCs from pig-tailed macaques.

    <p>Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from each pig-tailed macaque were incubated with anti-CD3-PerCP together with α-GalCer-loaded human CD1d-tetramer-PE (α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet-PE) in upper panel or unloaded human CD1d-tetramer-PE as a negative control in lower panelData were analyzed using Flowjo software (Tree Star). For all figures, the data represent one of three similar experiments.</p

    CD4/CD8 phenotype of α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet+CD3+ <i>i</i>NKT cells derived from pig-tailed macaques.

    <p>(A) One million PBMCs were first incubated with α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet-PE and anti-CD3-PerCP. Cells were also stained with anti-CD4-APC and anti-CD8-FITC then subjected to flow cytometric analysis, as described in Fig. 1. Data represent one of two similar experiments. (B) The percentage of α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet<sup>+</sup>CD3<sup>+</sup> cells among PBMCs and the percentage of CD4<sup>+</sup> or CD8<sup>+</sup> cells among α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet<sup>+</sup>CD3<sup>+</sup><i>i</i>NKT cells of each pig-tailed macaque are listed. (C) One million PBMCs were first incubated with anti-Vα24-PE then stained with CD8α-perCp anti-CD8β-APC and subjected to flow cytometric analysis, as described in Fig. 1.</p

    Secretion of IFN-γ and TNF-α by pig-tailed macaque <i>i</i>NKT cells upon stimulation with α-GalCer.

    <p> One million PBMC cells were stimulated with 0.1 µg/ml or 5 µg/ml of α-GalCer followed by the addition of 5 µg/ml Brefeldin A for the last 4 hours of incubation. Invariant natural killer T (<i>i</i>NKT) cells were then gated with α-GalCer-CD1d-Tet<sup>+</sup> and CD3<sup>+</sup> followed by flow cytometric analysis. (A) Flow cytometric figure shows the pattern of IFN-γ and TNF-α expression by α-GalCer-activated, IFN-γ-secreting <i>i</i>NKT cells gated from PBMCs from one representative pig-tailed macaque. (B) The graph shows the percentages of <i>i</i>NKT cells secreting the respective cytokines among total <i>i</i>NKT cells derived from the PBMCs of five pig-tailed macaques.</p
