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...

Generation of a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 chronically infected monkey B cell line expressing low levels of endogenous TRIM5alpha.

29 Nov 2009 Several innate cellular antiviral factors exist in mammalian cells that prevent the replication of retroviruses. Among them, the tripartite motif protein (TRIM)5alpha has been shown to block human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in ... Read more...

Blood sources of mosquitoes collected from urban and peri-urban environments in eastern Australia with species-specific molecular analysis of avian blood meals.

30 Oct 2009 To identify the hosts of mosquitoes collected from urban and peri-urban habitats in eastern Australia, 1,180 blood fed mosquitoes representing 15 species were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and molecular techniques. Four common and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Species Specificity'

Definition: 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.

Descriptor UI: D013045

Alternative terms: Species Specificity; Species Specificities; Specificities, Species; Specificity, Species;

Tree Number: G12.100.759; G16.824;

History Note: 66(64)

Technical Notes: NIM; no qualif; may refer to phylum, class, order, family, genus or strain as well as species: TN 176; do not limit to immunol specificity
