Cynomolgus Monkey Whole Blood (NHP-BP019)

The paper outlines the importance of such information in relation to biomedical research, with a special focus on the collection of detailed reference values from Cambodian cynomolgus monkeys. It covers body weight analyses, hematology, serum biochemistry, and blood typing of these monkeys, providing comprehensive baseline data that are necessary for clinical diagnosis and biomedical studies.

It notes the body weight in 2518 monkeys, analyses for hematology and serum biochemistry in 119 males, and defines the blood type of 642 individuals. The results obtained were of the opinion that specific biological and physiological characteristics of the monkeys are close to the systems in man and offer high value in non-clinical studies appertaining to drug efficacy, toxicity, and a number of diseases. The data uncovered differences in blood type and physiologic metrics that may significantly impact outcomes in research directed in medicine and genetics.

These values, in other words, will raise the need for making a thorough consideration of the place of origin of the monkeys used in experiments, in which regional differences might call for their consideration. The wealth of data collected provides a critical resource for investigators that will facilitate better use of cynomolgus monkeys in the biomedical advancement and therapy development.
