DIAGNOSTIC AND CLINICAL PATHOLOGY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 比较病理学部为中心的各个部门，附属科学家，合作科学家和其他利用该中心资源的美国科学研究人员提供解剖和临床病理学服务。 诊断实验室在识别圈养非人灵长类动物的某些自然疾病方面发挥着关键作用，这些疾病可能会发展成为人类各种疾病的动物模型。 该中心已经开发的人类疾病的非人灵长类动物模型的例子包括猿艾滋病，结肠炎和结肠癌，以及肾小球肾炎。 使用SIV/恒河猴模型进行的艾滋病发病机制研究仍然是比较病理学司进行的研究的主要重点。 最近描述的非人灵长类动物的条件，目前正在研究的模型开发，包括SV 40诱导的肿瘤发生，SIV感染的恒河猴动脉病变，恒河猴隐孢子虫感染，和SIV感染的恒河猴鸟分枝杆菌感染的发病机制。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Division of Comparative Pathology provides anatomic and clinical pathology services to the various Divisions of the Center, affiliated scientists, collaborative scientists, and other scientific investigators from the USA who utilize the resources of this center. The diagnostic laboratory plays a critical role in the recognition of certain natural diseases of captive nonhuman primates that may be developed into animal models for various diseases of humans. Examples of nonhuman primate models for human diseases that have been developed at the Center include simian AIDS, colitis and colonic carcinoma, and glomerulonephritis. AIDS pathogenesis studies, using the SIV/rhesus macaque model, remain a major focus of the research conducted in the Division of Comparative Pathology. More recently described conditions of nonhuman primates that are currently being investigated for model development include SV40-induced oncogenesis, arteriopathy in SIV-infected rhesus, cryptosporidial infection in rhesus, and the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium infection in SIV-infected rhesus.
