Fetal globin expression in New World monkeys. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 Reverse phase chromatography of the globin chains of adult, newborn, and fetal erythrocytes from three species of New World monkeys (Cebus apella, Aotus azarae, and Callithrix jacchus) representing three of the seven platyrrhine clades showed that gamma-globin expression was fetal in these animals.

Preparing New World Monkeys for Laboratory Research [PDF]
ILAR Journal, 2006 New World monkeys represent an important but often poorly understood research resource. The relatively small size and low zoonotic risk of these animals make them appealing as research subjects in a number of areas. However, historic portrayal of many of these species as difficult to manage and handle is one of the factors that has limited their use ...
