The Baboon
Papio anubis
Baboons are large Old World primates valuable for cardiovascular, reproductive, and xenotransplantation research.
Their size and physiological similarity to humans make them particularly useful for surgical studies and organ transplant 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
Baboon PUVEC Endothelial Cells are research-grade baboon primary cells intended for preclinical and translational research. Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific information including viability and purity data.
Primary endothelial cells support vascular biology research, angiogenesis studies, and cardiovascular drug development.
Common applications
- Angiogenesis research
- Vascular permeability studies
- Endothelial dysfunction
- Cardiovascular drug screening
- Thrombosis research
Collection, processing & handling
Samples are collected and processed using standardized protocols appropriate to the sample type. Packaging and shipping are configured for temperature-controlled logistics to preserve sample integrity for your specific workflow requirements.
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.

Our scientific team can advise on the optimal origin for your study design and regulatory requirements.
Primary cells are typically provided at passage 0 (P0) or passage 1 (P1) unless otherwise specified. Low-passage cells retain tissue-specific phenotype and function. Higher passage cells are available on request for applications where passage number is less critical.
Culture conditions vary by cell type. We provide cell-type-specific culture medium recommendations and handling protocols with each order. In general, primary cells require specialized media with appropriate growth factors and supplements. Contact us for detailed protocols.
Thaw rapidly at 37°C, transfer into pre-warmed cell-type-specific medium. Plate immediately onto appropriate substrate (collagen, fibronectin, or gelatin coating as appropriate). Change medium after 24 hours to remove DMSO and non-adherent cells.
Post-thaw viability is typically ≥70% for cryopreserved primary cells. Plating efficiency and time to confluence vary by cell type. Fresh cells generally provide the best plating efficiency and are recommended for sensitive applications.
Yes. Donor demographics (age, sex, health status) and tissue source details are available. Custom tissue dissection and cell isolation can be arranged. Matched sets from the same donor are available on request.
