Abstract
The second release of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) database is now publicly available. It contains an updated physical map and considerably more genomic sequence. cDNA sequences of all current alleles are accessible as individual sequence entries. The variability of different genes is displayed graphically as static and dynamic images accessible from the database. Known disease-serotype associations have also been incorporated, together with data from the MHCPEP database of eluted peptides.
