Appendix: Non-Human Primate (NHP)
Cross-Reactivity
The human chemokine assays were found to be cross-reactive with
two common NHP species, cynomolgus (Cyno) macaque and rhesus
macaque. Other NHP species were not tested. The degree of cross-
reactivity was determined based on the ability of each assay to detect
native analyte in serum, plasma and/or culture media from mitogen
stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
Assay signal (MFI) for the most highly cross-reactive samples were compared
against the human standard curve and scored as shown in the Table 14.
