The African Green Monkey
Chlorocebus sabaeus
African green monkeys are increasingly important in biomedical research, particularly for infectious disease studies.
Natural hosts for SIV without disease progression, they provide unique insights into viral pathogenesis and represent a valuable model for respiratory virus research.
Human Similarity
~93% genetic homology with extensive immune receptor cross-reactivity
Global Availability
Multiple geographic origins with established breeding colonies
Regulatory Accepted
FDA & EMA preferred species for biologics safety assessment

Common Research Applications
African Green Monkey Kidney Cells is research-grade African green monkey tissue intended for preclinical and translational research. Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific information and handling details to support consistency across studies.
Kidney tissue is critical for nephrotoxicity studies, renal disease modeling, and investigations of drug clearance mechanisms.
Common applications
- Nephrotoxicity screening
- Chronic kidney disease research
- Renal fibrosis modeling
- Drug transporter studies
- Glomerular and tubular function
Collection, processing & handling
Tissue is collected and processed with protocols designed to preserve downstream histology and molecular workflows. Available formats include fresh, frozen, OCT-embedded, or FFPE as appropriate. Cold-chain logistics with documented handling throughout.
Quality control & documentation
QC testing options available on request, including material-appropriate analytical checks and extended documentation. Standard documentation includes collection/processing metadata, lot identifiers, and chain-of-custody records. Custom QC panels can be configured for GLP or regulatory-facing studies.
Ordering notes
For specific donor criteria, source, volumes, or custom handling requirements, request a quote and include your study specifications. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.
Histopathology
Perform microscopic examination for toxicity assessment and disease characterization.
Immunohistochemistry

Need help selecting an origin?
Our scientific team can advise on the optimal origin for your study design and regulatory requirements.
We offer fresh tissue (shipped on ice), snap-frozen tissue (-80°C or LN2), FFPE blocks (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded), and OCT-embedded frozen sections. Choose based on your downstream application: fresh for cell isolation, frozen for molecular work, FFPE for histology/IHC.
Yes, we can provide multiple tissues from the same donor animal. This is valuable for studies comparing tissue distribution or requiring matched samples. Contact us with your tissue list for availability.
Each tissue sample includes donor information (age, sex, health status), collection date, preservation method, and gross pathology notes. Full necropsy reports are available upon request.
