Immunity declines with advancing age. Lymphocyte proliferation, natural killer cell activity, and antibody response to tetanus toxoid vaccination were evaluated in cohorts of rhesus monkeys (Mucucu muluttu) aged 2-36 years in order to characterize senescent changes in immune function. The results we

Studies of the reproductive biology of nonhuman primates are commonly hindered by the lack of homologous, sensitive immunoassay systems for gonadotropins. The recent development of a bioassay based upon folliclestimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated estradiol production by rat Sertoli cells (Padmanabh
## Abstract Accurate estimation of chronological age for animals of unknown birth date is important in a variety of circumstances. This is particularly true for nonβhuman primates and especially true for rhesus monkeys. Data, useful for this purpose, have been organized in a variety of ways. The pu
Caloric restriction (CR) is the most successful method of extending both median and maximal lifespans in rodents and other short-lived species. It is not yet clear whether this method of life extension will be successful in longer-lived species, possibly including humans; however, trials in rhesus m
