Dear Andrea, We have been interested in DP T cells in cynomolgus monkeys and found that the DP T cell subpopulation is CD8alpha/alpha, CD28-, CD29hi, CD69-, CD49dhi, and CD80+. Uniquely, the subpopulation increases with age (<9 years old; less than 5%, >10 years old; more than 10% in average). Reference: Int. Immunol 9, 591, 1997 Dev. Comp.
