I am searching cancer cell line from rabbit source. VX2 is the only available cancer cell line of rabbit that I found. Could someone please give some information about this? Thanks in advance.
The answer is yes and no!
Yes there are other cancer cell lines from rabbits. There are a series of rabbit plasmacytoma cell lines:

But they are patented and used by the pharma industry to make rabbit hybridomas.
There is a cutaneous lymphoma cell line RHCT-138:
https://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus/CVCL_K277
distributed by ATCC, but it is from a cancer artifically induced using human HTLV-1.
There was also RHE-X76, a uterine sarcoma cell line:
https://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus/CVCL_S538
but again HTLV-I induced and no longer distributed
There is RSCC-1 (Rabbit Squamous Cell Carcinoma-1):
https://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus/CVCL_RN75
but not sure it is available (you would need to contact the group in China which has established it).
Same observation for RTSCC ( Rabbit Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma):
