“…Our results for Saimiri ustus are somewhat similar to those reported by TERAO et al (1988) for two samples of S. boliviensis (named as S. sciureus by the authors), but only two phenotypes were detected in another sample of S. boliviensis (TERAO et al, 1988) and S. b. boliviensis (SCHNEIDER 8~ HARADA, 1991). The above authors attributed these phenotypic distributions to the occurrence of I A and I B alleles.…”

Blood and saliva samples were collected from 84 Aotus azarae boliviensis, 31 Ateles paniscus chamek, 130 Callicebus brunneus, 130 Cebus apella, 117 Pithecia irrorata irrorata, and 117 Saimirt ustus. Saliva samples were investigated for human ABH antigens by the standard hemagglutination inhibition test. Two species, P. irrorata and C. brunneus showed monomorphism, presenting only the A blood group. Among the polymorphic species, A. paniscus and C. apella presented the O (30 and 3) and A (1 and 127) phenotypes, and the B (80) and AB (4) phenotypes were detected in A. azarae. S. ustus was the only species that presented all the four phenotypes. The observed distribution was as expected assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to be present in those species that could be tested. The ABH substances were titrated and a comparison among species was made. Serum samples were used to detect natural antibodies and the results showed some disagreement between serum and saliva phenotypes.

“…In this species, human-type A and AB types were found. However, the squirrel monkeys were observed to have all four phenotypes [22,23]. The expression of H antigen is identified in the basal layer of the vaginal epithelium (Fig 2e) and bladder epithelium (Fig 2f).…”

ABH antigens are histo-antigens, but were first described on the surface of human erythrocytes. They are found in those cells only in great apes and humans, while in more primitive animals they are found in tissues and body fluids. ABH antigens are mainly distributed in tissues that are in contact with the external environment and may serve as ligands for pathogens in tissues or block their connection. Description of the distribution of these molecules in non-human primate tissues is restricted to a few tissues and species. This paper describes the expression of human A, B and H type antigens in different organs from four species of New World Primates, obtained from the Centro Nacional de Primatas, as well as comparing that expression with what has been described for humans. In this study, although the tissue description of the antigens is similar to the genetic model for humans, some differences in expression between some organs from those species and those of humans were found. The differences occurred mainly in endodermal organs that have secretory functions and are probably under the control of the human-type FUT-2 enzyme. In the mesodermal-origin organs there was a reduction or absence of A and B antigen marking, particularly in the H precursor substance, indicating that those organs are under the control of the human-type FUT-1 enzyme. These findings have demonstrated that there is similar ABH antigen reactivity in tissue distribution between the species, although there are some species-specific cases.

“…The reports of ABO blood groups for samples of S. boliviensis published by Terao et al. [23] and Schneider and Harada [18] have shown that only two phenotypes were detected which are attributed to the occurrence of I A and I B alleles. These results are similar to those reported in the present paper but several authors [14, 19, 22] have also described O, A, AB and B phenotypes in other species of this genus.…”

The ABO blood groups were determined in blood and saliva collected from 40 Aotus infulatus, 74 Saimiri sciureus, and 96 Cebus apella from the Amazonian region along the Tocantins river. Saliva samples were tested for human ABH antigens by a standard hemagglutination inhibition test. Aotus infulatus showed monomorphism, exhibiting only the B blood group. Saimiri sciureus exhibited the A (67) and AB (7) phenotypes. All four phenotypes have been found in C. apella: O (8), A (52), B (19) and AB (17). The observed distribution was as expected assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The titers of ABH substances varied among the species and phenotypes. The B-like agglutinogen, common to all New World monkey species tested, was detected in the red blood cells. Sera were used to detect naturally occurring antibodies and the results showed discrepancies between serum and saliva phenotypes in all species studied.
