Species Specificity
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Species Specificity'Restriction of a characteristic or response to the members of one species; it usually refers to that property of the immune response which differentiates one species from another on the basis of antigen recognition, but the concept is not limited to immunology and is used loosely at levels higher than the species.

Genetic complexity of absence seizures in substrains of C3H mice.
15 Dec 2009 
Absence epilepsy is a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy whose etiology is poorly understood because of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The inbred mouse strain C3H/He exhibits spontaneous absence seizures characterized by spike and ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 Two new vaccines against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis that have high efficacy in middle- and high-income countries have recently been licensed in many countries worldwide. Clinical trials in low-income countries in Africa and Asia are ongoing. ... Read more...
18 Oct 2009 We used in situ hybridization on sections to examine the distribution of GAD67-expressing cell populations in the entire forebrain of the adult zebrafish. GAD67 is predominantly expressed in the olfactory bulb (OB), all regions of the subpallium ... Read more...
