通过信息技术的进步而产生的大量生物技术数据，正在促进生物系统知识的扩大。 这些创新改变了生物医学研究、开发和应用的方式。 临床数据补充了生物数据，能够详细描述各种他 健康和疾病的状态，进展和对治疗的反应。 表示各种生物状态、过程及其时间依赖性的数据量使得能够研究生物系统 EMS在不同层次的组织，从分子到有机体，甚至在种群水平。 多种数据来源支持迅速增长的生物医学知识；然而，我们分析和解释这些数据的能力远远落后于数据的生成和存储能力。
近年来，数据库资源已成为免疫学研究的一个基本工具，这是由于先进的生物技术产生了大量生物数据。 在免疫学研究中获取现有信息、规划实验和分析实验的途径越来越广泛 结果。 免疫学数据包括生物序列，抗原和表位结构，免疫遗传学性质和免疫相互作用的特异性.免疫数据库包括生物信息资源，其中免疫数据被存储，计算方法适合于信息数据的提取和分析。
