The squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) is a valuable experimental animal for research into infectious diseases such as malaria vaccine development; however, the IgG molecules in this animal are not yet to be characterized. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxity is an antibody-mediated immune response and is important for exclusion of pathogens or cancer cells. In human, IgG1 or IgG3 interacts with the Fc receptor, FcγRIIIa. Previous studies have revealed that human FcγRIIIa contains a substitution (Phe→Val) at residue 176 that can interact with IgG4 in addition to IgG1 and IgG3. Here we show that the squirrel monkey IgG interacts with its FcγRIIIa. Finally, highly sensitive and specific anti-squirrel monkey IgG monoclonal antibodies were developed for used in western blotting and ELISA assays.
