IMGT®, a European project since 1992, works in close collaboration with EBI. IMGT® consists of several databases, Web resources and interactive tools available at the IMGT home page (http://www.imgt.org). IMGT/LIGM-DB, which is distributed in the current directory, is the IMGT® comprehensive database of immunoglobulins and T cell receptors nucleotide sequences from human and other vertebrates created in 1989 and on the Web since 1995. - Citing IMGT®, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system® Lefranc M.-P., Giudicelli V., Ginestoux C., Jabado-Michaloud J., Folch G., Bellahcene F., Wu Y., Gemrot E., Brochet X., Lane J., Regnier L., Ehrenmann F., Lefranc G. and Duroux P.
