Rhesus Monkey Mammary Gland
Rhesus Monkey tissue samples (Macaca mulatta) collected via aseptic necropsy. Multiple preservation options available. Full pathology documentation included.
The Rhesus Monkey
Macaca mulatta
The rhesus macaque is one of the most studied primate species, fundamental to biomedical research for over a century.
With ~93% genetic homology to humans and extensive immunological characterization, rhesus monkeys are essential for vaccine development, HIV/AIDS research, and neuroscience studies.
Human Similarity
~93% genetic homology with extensive immune receptor cross-reactivity

Common Research Applications
Rhesus Monkey Mammary Gland is research-grade rhesus macaque 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.
Common applications
- Histology / IHC and pathology workflows
- Transcriptomics, proteomics, and multi-omics
- Biomarker discovery and validation
- Preclinical translational research support
- Tissue-based drug distribution studies
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.
