Labels

A label is a term used to describe any part of an object or a process.

IMGT standardized labels are used to describe all structural and functional subregions that compose IG, TR, MHC and RPI sequences, 2D and 3D structures. The IMGT labels are written in capital letters.

Each label corresponds to a concept of the key DESCRIPTION concept of IMGT-ONTOLOGY.

• IMGT/LIGM-DB standardized labels are used to describe all structural and functional subregions that compose IG and TR sequences. The organizational relationship between the IMGT/LIGM-DB standardized labels and the information on the order and the expected length (in number of nucleotides) of the labels are represented in Prototypes.

• IMGT/PROTEIN-DB and IMGT/3Dstructure-DB labels are used to describe the 2D or 3D structure organization of IG, TR and MHC receptors and chains into domains.
