The immune system is composed of many different types of cells whose functions and interactions determine the immune response. The rabbit has a unique immune system compared to other species (e.g. mouse, rat, chicken). Rabbits have a large B-cell repertoire that produces a very diverse range of antibodies. In addition, the affinity optimization mechanism of the rabbit immune system is more effective than that of other rodents and can be utilized to produce high-affinity antibodies. Currently, most of the rabbit antibodies popular in the market are directed against rabbit immune system markers and fewer antibodies are directed against rabbit cell biology and non-immune system markers. Some rabbit cell biology and non-immune system markers are detailed below.
| Markers | Description |
| Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) | PCNA is a 261 amino acid, approximately 28 kDa nuclear protein that acts as a sustained synthesis factor for DNA polymerase δ in eukaryotic cells and is essential for cellular DNA synthesis. |
| Anti-myelin basic protein (MBP) | MBP is a hydrophilic protein that is mainly expressed in oligodendrocytes. It has a key role in myelin formation in the nervous system, in signaling pathways prior to myelin formation, and in myelin regeneration after nerve injury. |
