RESUMO
The use of erythrocytes (RBC) from Presbytis cristata, P. melalophus and Macaca fascicularis for measles hemagglutination inhibition serologies is presented. These primates can provide a ready supply of RBC for diagnostic reagent use in areas of the world where the African green monkey or rhesus macaque are not available. Individuals of each species are useful but must be screened for hemagglutination ability of their erythrocytes. The animal can then be chosen that has erythrocytes which best agglutinate with the antigen being used.
