Organ Specificity

Medical Definition:	Restriction of a characteristic or response to a particular organ of the body; it usually refers to that property of the immune response which differentiates one organ from another on the basis of antigen recognition, but the concept is not limited to immunology.
Guide Notes:	IM GEN only; coord NIM with specific organ (IM); "tissue specificity" goes here if reasonable (i.e., liver tissue specificity = LIVER + ORGAN SPECIFICITY but connective tissue specificity is not CONNECTIVE TISSUE + ORGAN SPECIFICITY)
