IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system, http://www.imgt.org , the global reference in immunogenetics and immunoinformatics, was created in 1989 by Marie-Paule Lefranc (Université de Montpellier and CNRS) to manage the huge diversity of the antigen receptors, immunoglobulins (IG) or antibodies, and T cell receptors (TR) of the adaptive immune responses.

The variable domains (V-DOMAIN) of the antigen receptors, immunoglobulins (IG) or antibodies and T cell receptors (TR), which specifically recognize the antigens show a huge diversity in their sequences. This diversity results from the complex mechanisms involved in the synthesis of these domains at the DNA level (rearrangements of the variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) genes; N-diversity; and, for the IG, somatic hypermutations). The recognition of V, D, and J as "genes" and their entry in databases mark the creation of IMGT by Marie-Paule Lefranc, and the origin of immunoinformatics in 1989.

IMGT®, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system® (CNRS and Montpellier University) is the global reference in immunogenetics and immunoinformatics. By its creation in 1989, IMGT® marked the advent of immunoinformatics, which emerged at the interface between immunogenetics and bioinformatics. IMGT® is specialized in the immunoglobulins (IG) or antibodies, T cell receptors (TR), major histocompatibility (MH), and IgSF and MhSF superfamilies.

Antibody informatics, a part of immunoinformatics, refers to the concepts, databases, and tools developed and used to explore and to analyze the particular properties of the immunoglobulins (IG) or antibodies, compared with conventional genes and proteins. Antibody informatics is based on a unique ontology, IMGT-ONTOLOGY, created in 1989 by IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system (http://www.imgt.
