“…) . Similar changes have been observed in aged monkeys, including squirrel monkey (13,14) and macaques (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21), as well as in aged dog (22) and polar bear (23), and homology of APP in cynomolgus monkey and human has been demonstrated (24). Senile plaques have also been described in two aged mules (25), but neither plaques nor tangles were seen in three aged elephants (26).…”

“…The need for an animal model for AD is particularly pressing considering the number of people who are suffering or will suffer from this disease. Amyloid deposits similar to those observed in human brains have been described in aged non-human primates (Dayan, 1971;Kitt et al, 1984Kitt et al, , 1985Price et al, 1985;Struble et al, 1985;Walker et al, 1986Walker et al, , 1987. Numerous plaques were also observed in the brains of aged bears (Cork et al, 1988).…”

“…Studies of rhesus monkeys yielded the first experimental evidence of the varied and complex neuritic composition of senile plaques, and have helped to illuminate the nature of senile plaques and Ab in brain [45,46]. Squirrel monkeys are now an established animal model of CAA [47,48] and have been employed in studies of the genetic, biochemical and physiological factors that foster amyloid angiopathy [10,32,45,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. Similarities in age-associated neuropathology, in conjunction with the immunological and vascular commonalities of human and nonhuman primates, indicate that rhesus monkeys and squirrel monkeys are ideal for rigorously testing the safety and efficacy of Ab immunotherapy.…”
