: The HDB now contains data on over 28,000 immunoclones and their
: products. HDB has been designed in a highly structured format and is
: housed on the NIH computer using the relational database management
: system, DB2. Reports can be generated from this system that are specific
: for users' requirements. During 1993 we will be converting the HDB to a
: SUN/Unix/Sybase environment and hope to have it available for direct user
: query via the Internet. Until that time we will be happy to process queries
: and forward retrievals to requestors via email, Fax, or regular mail. The
: database is also online via several commercial hosts.
: HDB holds data on various aspects of hybridomas and their immunoreactive
: products. Information on a hybridoma's construction and the reactivity and
: non-reactivity of its secreted product is included. In addition, information
: on the availability of an individual hybridoma and its Mab product are
: included. Information in the HDB is derived from literature, catalogs and
: survey forms.

: Hybridoma Data Bank
The Hybridoma data bank is on line now. I have been accessing it
via gopher and it works great. The searches I did were pretty easy and they
were fast. Keep up the good work Barbara.
