In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Q: Context: Thus far, live attenuated SIV has been the most successful method for vaccinating macaques against pathogenic SIV challenge; however, it is not clear what mechanisms are responsible for this protection. Adoptive transfer studies in mice have been integral to understanding live attenuated vaccine protection in models like Friend virus. Previous adoptive transfers in primates have failed as transferred cells are typically cleared within hours after transfer.', 'Here we describe adoptive transfer studies in Mauritian origin cynomolgus macaques (MCM), a non-human primate model with limited MHC diversity. Cells transferred between unrelated MHC-matched macaques persist for at least fourteen days but are rejected within 36 hours in MHC-mismatched macaques. Cells trafficked from the blood to peripheral lymphoid tissues within 12 hours of transfer.\Question: Do allogeneic lymphocytes persist and traffic in feral MHC-matched mauritian cynomolgus macaques?

A: MHC-matched MCM provide the first viable primate model for adoptive transfer studies. Because macaques infected with SIV are the best model for HIV/AIDS pathogenesis, we can now directly study the correlates of protective immune responses to AIDS viruses. For example, plasma viral loads following pathogenic SIV challenge are reduced by several orders of magnitude in macaques previously immunized with attenuated SIV. Adoptive transfer of lymphocyte subpopulations from vaccinated donors into SIV-naïve animals may define the immune mechanisms responsible for protection and guide future vaccine development.

Q: Context: The PlA1/A2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. We studied this polymorphism in a homogenous, extensively phenotyped cohort using the candidate gene approach.', 'The PlA1/A2 polymorphism was determined in 1051 patients with type 2 diabetes and in 2247 individuals without type 2 diabetes.', 'In patients with type 2 diabetes, genotype frequencies were as follows: PlA1/A1 71.4%, PlA1/A2 26.0%, and PlA2/A2 2.7%. In individuals without type 2 diabetes, genotype frequencies were 71.6%, 25.7% and 2.8%, respectively. The PlA2 allele was not associated with fasting and postprandial glucose, glycated haemoglobin, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide and calculated indices of insulin resistance or pancreatic beta cell function. The PlA2 allele was also not significantly associated with angiographic CHD (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.13; 95% CI, 0.93-1.39) or with a history of previous myocardial infarction (adjusted OR 1.09; 95% CI, 0.87-1.37).\Question: Is the PlA1/A2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes . The Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health study?

A: The GPIIIa PlA1/A2 polymorphism is not associated with type 2 diabetes, glucose metabolism, angiographic CHD or myocardial infarction.

Q: Context: There is a need in urological practice to identify new bladder cancer molecular markers to further develop noninvasive diagnostic tests. We analyzed bladder cancer gene expression profiles to determine the relevant differentially expressed genes and whether this differential expression is maintained in urine samples.', 'We collected 55 tissue specimens from a total of 43 patients with bladder cancer and 12 controls, and 49 urine samples from bladder washings from a total of 36 patients with bladder cancer and 13 controls between September 2003 and December 2004. DNA microarrays (GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array) were used to identify differentially expressed genes at 3 bladder cancer stages. Selected differentially expressed genes were validated in an independent set of bladder washings by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.', 'Unsupervised cluster analysis of DNA microarray data showed a clear distinction in control vs tumor samples and low vs high grade tumors. Genes with at least 2-fold differential expression in controls vs tumors (2,937 probe sets or 2,295 genes) and in low vs high grade tumors (674 probe sets or 530 genes) were identified and ranked. Gene expression measurements in bladder washings of the 6 most differentially expressed genes in controls vs tumors were confirmed for the 2 over expressed genes tested by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. All 8 selected differentially expressed genes in low vs high grade tumors were confirmed in bladder washing samples.\Question: Does dNA microarray expression profiling of bladder cancer allow identification of noninvasive diagnostic markers?

A:
Bladder cancer analysis by DNA microarrays provides new putative mRNA markers for bladder cancer diagnosis and/or prognosis that can be extrapolated to bladder fluids.
