IPD - MHC Database

Non-Human Primate (NHP) Sequences (Version 1.4.0 November 2009)

Welcome to the NHP database, a specialist database for the Major Histocompatibility Complex genes of Non-Human Primates. The database includes Apes and both Old World and New World monkeys. It presently covers over 40 different primate species, and is subject to quality control.

Incorporated in the database are currently known and annotated (full-length) MHC class I sequences, MHC class II exon 2 sequences, and particular full-length MHC class II rhesus macaque DRA and DRB sequences. The sequences have been published by various authors.

The alignments used have been curated by;
