“…Our findings are consistent with previous studies that reported group B as the major blood type (ϳ97%) found in rhesus macaques (25,34). On the other hand, Malaivijitnond et al described the polymorphism of the ABO blood group in rhesus macaques in Thailand, although variation among troops from different geographic locations was significant (30).…”

“…HBGA phenotyping of 500 rhesus monkeys of the Tulane colony revealed majority of animals being type B. Although this result is consistent with some historical studies conducted in 1970's [27] , results conducted with freeranging macaques in Thailand showed more polymorphic distribution [24] . Unpublished results conducted by our group at Tulane indicate differences between the Indian vs Chinese origin rhesus macaques: The Chinese macaques appear to have more human-like distribution (14% type A, 65% B, 11% O and 10% AB) than Indian macaques (97% Sestak K. Histo-blood group antigens as calicivirus receptors type B) (Farkas T personal communication).…”

“…It was proposed that human NoVs bind with carbohydrate moieties of the ABH and Lewis antigens when these are secreted into biological fluids and that such binding is associated with productive infection and illness [27][28][29] . In fact, inhibition of HBGA binding was suggested as an antiviral strategy for treatment of NoV infection [30] .…”

Human noroviruses (NoV) are associated with large proportion of non-bacterial diarrhea outbreaks together with > 50% of food-associated diarrheas. The function of histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) in pathogenesis of virus infection was implicated. Until recently however, due to lack of a robust animal and in vitro models of human NoV infection, only the partial knowledge concerning the virus pathogenesis (receptor, coreceptor and target cell) and absence of viable vaccine candidates were the frequently referenced attributes of this acute diarrheal illness. Recently, a novel group of enteric caliciviruses (CV) of rhesus macaque host origin was discovered and described. The new genus within the family Caliciviridae was identified: Rhesus Enteric CV, i.e. , "Recovirus" (ReCV). ReCVs are genetically and biologically close relatives of human NoVs, exhibit similar genetic and biological features and are capable of being propagated in cell culture. ReCVs cause symptomatic disease (diarrhea and fever) in experimentally inoculated macaques. Formulation and evaluation of efficient NoV vaccine might take several years. As suggested by recent studies, inhibition of HBGAs or HBGAbased antivirals could meanwhile be exploited as vaccine alternatives. The purpose of this minireview is to provide the guidance in respect to newly available primate model of enteric CV infection and its similarities with human NoV in utilizing the HBGAs as potential virus co-receptors to indirectly address the unresolved questions of NoV pathogenesis and immunity.

“…Reverse typing, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and saliva-inhibition tests (SIT) have all been performed to identify the A and B antigens in macaques [Kim et al, 2015; Malaivijitnond et al, 2008; Moor-Jankowski and Socha, 1978; Premasuthan et al, 2012]. Both reverse typing and SIT protocols require fresh macaque blood or saliva samples of sufficient quantity and quality, which are not always available, especially for archived tissue samples.…”

“…Reverse typing, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and saliva-inhibition tests (SITs) have all been performed to identify the A and B antigens in macaques ( Figure 1). 5,[7][8][9] Both reverse typing and SIT protocols require fresh macaque blood or saliva samples of sufficient quantity and quality, which are not always available, especially for archived tissue samples. Accurate reverse typing of the A and B agglutinins in macaques by the presence of serum antibodies requires absorbing non-specific (eg, anti-human) agglutinins from macaque sera with type O human RBCs before reacting the sera with known type A and type B RBCs, a critical step that is sometimes omitted from protocols by researchers that consequently leads to false positive tests for the type O blood group phenotype.…”

A much larger sample (N = 2369) was used to evaluate a previously reported distribution of the A, AB and B blood group phenotypes in rhesus and cynomolgus macaques from six different regional populations. These samples, acquired from 15 different breeding and research facilities in the US, were analyzed using a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay that targets single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for the macaque A, B and AB phenotypes. The frequency distributions of blood group phenotypes of the two species differ significantly from each other, and significant regional differentiation within the geographic ranges of each species was also observed. The B blood group phenotype was prevalent in rhesus macaques, especially those from India, while the frequencies of the A, B and AB phenotypes varied significantly among cynomolgus macaques from different geographic regions. The Mauritian cynomolgus macaques, despite having originated in Indonesia, showed significant (p ≪ 0.01) divergence from the Indonesian animals at the ABO blood group locus. Most Mauritian animals belonged to the B blood group while the Indonesian animals were mostly A. The close similarity in blood group frequency distributions between the Chinese rhesus and Indochinese cynomolgus macaques demonstrates that the introgression between these two species extends beyond the zone of intergradation in Indochina. This study underscores the importance of ABO blood group phenotyping of the domestic supply of macaques and their biospecimens.
