TABLE 1.
CD4 clone | % amino acid identity to CD4 from: |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Human | Rhesus macaque | Sooty mangabey | Grivet AGM (Chlorocebus aethiops) | Vervet AGM (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) | |
AGM Sab 30 | 90.6 | 95.4 | 95.0 | 99.1 | 98.9 |
AGM Sab 31 | 90.8 | 95.6 | 95.2 | 99.3 | 99.1 |
CD4 was cloned from PBMC cDNA of two individual animals, yielding two AGM CD4 clones that are 98.9% identical at the amino acid level (5 amino acids are different).
