Rabbit spleen tissues and blocks are valuable research biospecimens widely used in immunology, hematology, infectious diseases, vaccine development, comparative pathology, and translational biomedical research. As the largest secondary lymphoid organ, the rabbit spleen contains well-defined white pulp (B-cell follicles, periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths, and germinal centers) and red pulp (vascular sinuses, splenic cords, and macrophage-rich regions), providing a valuable experimental tissue for investigating adaptive and innate immune responses, antigen presentation, lymphocyte activation, and splenic architecture. Rabbit spleen has been extensively utilized in studies of host–pathogen interactions, immune cell trafficking, antibody responses, inflammation, and evaluation of therapeutic interventions. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE), frozen, or fresh spleen tissues are suitable for histopathology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), in situ hybridization (ISH), transcriptomic, proteomic, and molecular analyses.
