Ethics approval and consent to participate
: All animal procedures were approved by the Wake Forest School of Medicine Clinical and Translational Science Institute Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and conducted in AAALAC approved facilities. All animals included in this study were female vervet/African green monkeys (<i>Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus</i>) from the Vervet Research Colony (VRC) at Wake Forest School of Medicine. All monkeys were US-colony born within the VRC, which is a multi-generational, pedigreed, and genotyped colony originally founded in 1975 by the University of California Los Angeles, with 57 animals imported from St. Kitts and Nevis. In early 2008, the VRC was transferred to Wake Forest School of Medicine and remains a continuously NIH-supported national research resource.
