(16) The uptake of chylomicrons by the non-human primate (the marmoset), in association with the observation that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins accumulate in bone marrow macrophages in patients with type I, III, or V hyperlipoproteinemia, suggests that in humans the bone marrow may clear chylomicrons from the circulation.
(17) Histamine, which was chemotactic in vitro, did not lead to appreciable eosinophil accumulation in vivo, and combinations of histamine and the acidic tetrapeptides evoked little or no cutaneous eosinophil infiltration either in man or the marmoset.

(19) Pluripotent hemopoietic progenitor cells (CFU-GEMM) grow in vitro from marmoset bone marrow using a modified human CFU-GEMM assay.
(20) The infectivity of VZV for marmosets was destroyed by treatment of inocula with heat or UV light.
Titi
Definition:
(n.) Same as Teetee.
Example Sentences:
(1) The strength and quality of the relationship between heterosexual pairmates were compared in two species of New World monkeys, the polygynous squirrel monkey (Saimiri) and the monogamous titi monkey (Callicebus).
(2) In nature titi monkeys spend virtually all of their time in trees.

(4) Vocalizations of titi monkeys were recorded from 6 groups at two sites in the Ilanos of Colombia during 8 months of study.
(5) Most male titi monkeys showed an increase in plasma cortisol in the presence of a male intruder; this pattern was not seen in their response to a female intruder.

(7) Female titi monkeys showed no consistent pattern of adrenocortical response to intruders of either sex.
(8) The occurrence of dermatophilosis in the titi monkey is reported.
(9) The behaviours and food types associated with wild titi monkey food transfer are described and analyzed.
(10) Titi monkeys, but not squirrel monkeys, responded to separation with a significant increase in plasma cortisol and in behavioral indices of agitation or distress.
(11) Newborns were assessed for their recovery of head turning toward laterally presented auditory stimuli (titi) that varied from a familiar standard on 1 of 5 levels of fundamental frequency.
(12) Given that three of these genera (Leontopithecus, Chiropotes and Brachyteles) can no longer be obtained from animal dealers because of exportation laws, the authors were fortunate to acquire representatives of the remaining two genera: Callicebus (titi monkeys) and Pithecia (sakiwinkis).
(13) The results suggest that an abstract representation of a tree branch attracts and guides locomotion in titis, and that responsiveness to substrate characteristics contributes to arboreality in this species.
(14) However, very high total plasma cortisol together with low CBG binding capacity and affinity result in free cortisol concentrations of 1-4 microM in some New World primates (squirrel monkey and marmosets) but not in others such as the titi and capuchin.
