Nonhuman Primate Reagent Resource

The Nonhuman Primate Reagent Resource is funded by the National Institutes of Health to facilitate the optimal use of nonhuman primate models in biomedical research. The resource develops and maintains nonhuman primate reference cell lines and immunoglobulins, and is developing anti-Ig reagents for macaque monkeys and other primate species.
