I must have missed this earlier. If it is any use, the antibodies available
from Coulter: anti-2H4 (CD45RA) and 4B4 (CD29) which identify stages of T
cell differentiation, stand a very strong chance of working in non-human
primates, because they were both originally produced by immunization of mice
with cells from a non-human primate, namely Aotus trivirgatus, the owl
monkey

Have fun
