Overview

The dbMHC database provides an open, publicly accessible platform for DNA and clinical data related to the human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC).

Produced and maintained in cooperation with the Medical University Graz, Austria.

Structure of dbMHC
The MHC database, dbMHC, was designed to provide a platform where the HLA community can submit, edit, view, and exchange MHC data. It currently consists of an interactive Alignment Viewer for HLA and related genes, an MHC microsatellite database, a sequence interpretation site for Sequencing Based Typing (SBT), and a Primer/Probe database. All reagents will be characterized for allele specificity using the current curated WHO HLA allele database in cooperation with IMGT/HLA.

The MHC database is fully integrated with other NCBI resources, as well as with the International Histocompatibility Working Group (IHWG) Web site, and provides links to the IMmunoGeneTics HLA (IMGT/HLA) database. Greater detail is available in the NCBI handbook.
