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. Common names: Species Specificity; Species Specificities; Specificities, Species; Specificity, 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...
