“…A tree constructed with full-length nucleotide sequences showed that Cercopithecidae , Hominidea and Platyrrhini KIR genes clustered into separate clades (like species phylogeny), as previously reported [14,15]. Orthologous Catarrhini KIR2DL4 receptors were clustered outside these main clades lacking a Platyrrhini ortholog.…”

“…The KIR haplotype has been characterizing in several primates: the chimpanzee [6,7], the gorilla [8], the orangutan [9], the rhesus macaque [10], the crab-eating macaque [11], baboons [12], the green monkey [13], the vervet monkey, the olive baboon, the colobus monkey [14] and an A. nancymae - A. azarai hybrid owl monkey [15]. KIRs evolutionary history has thus been thoroughly assessed in Catarrhini primates while a full understanding of such background has yet to be achieved in Platyrrhini monkeys.…”

“…Consistent with this distribution, Old World monkeys have diverse lineage II KIR genes, but little lineage III KIR diversity (Blokhuis et al, 2010; Hershberger et al, 2005; Kruse et al, 2010; LaBonte et al, 2001; Palacios et al, 2010; Sambrook et al, 2005). Only hominoid species with a counterpart to HLA-C, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla and orangutan, have diverse lineage III KIR genes (Abi-Rached et al, 2010b; Guethlein et al, 2007).…”

“…Macaques accordingly lack KIR2DL/S genes that encode receptors for HLA-C, but have an expanded complement of highly polymorphic KIR3DL/S genes [3337]. Phylogenetic and segregation analyses support the existence of 22 KIR genes in macaques [35,36,38]; however, as a consequence of the rapid pace of KIR evolution, only two of these genes ( Mamu-KIR2DL04 and - KIR3DL20 ) have recognizable human orthologs [1,2,3941]. Thus, it is not possible to predict the ligands for macaque KIRs based on sequence similarity with their human counterparts.…”
