Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This issue will focus on the immune response of the horse in health and disease states. Novel insights into immune function and immune assessment will be included. The unique equine immune response is not well characterized and often extrapolations are made from human or mouse studies. Frequent reminders are published on the differences between mice and humans so our knowledge of the equine specific response is critical to understand their immunological challenges as well as for new therapeutic development. The purpose of this issue to contribute to our expanding knowledge base of the immunological responses of the horse.
