Over recent years databases have become an extremely important resource for biomedical research. Immunology research is increasingly dependent on access to extensive biological databases to extract existing information, plan experiments, and analyse experimental results. This review describes 15 immunological databases that have appeared over the last 30 years. In addition, important issues regarding database design and the potential for misuse of information contained within these databases are discussed. Access pointers are provided for the major immunological databases and also for a number of other immunological resources accessible over the World Wide Web (WWW).
近年来，数据库已成为生物医学研究的极其重要的资源。免疫学研究越来越依赖于访问大量生物数据库来提取现有信息、规划实验以及分析实验结果。本综述描述了过去30年中出现的15个免疫学数据库。此外，还讨论了有关数据库设计以及这些数据库中所含信息被滥用的可能性等重要问题。文中提供了主要免疫学数据库以及一些可通过万维网（WWW）访问的其他免疫学资源的访问指针。
