Rammal award 2006
The Laboratoire d'ImmunoGénétique Moléculaire (LIGM) (Prof. Marie-Paule Lefranc and Prof. Gérard Lefranc), Université Montpellier 2, UPR CNRS 1142, IGH, has been involved for 25 years in the genetics, structure, polymorphism and function of the immunoglobulins and T cell receptors.
The scientific contribution of LIGM is shown by more than 300 publications in international journals, 400 communications, more than 200 invitations to congresses and seminars, the isolation of 40 genomic probes. These probes, released by ATCC (American Type Culture Collection), JCRB (Japanese Cancer Research Resources Bank) and ICRF (Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Human Genetic Resource Centre), are used by many laboratories abroad, for fundamental research and clinical applications. Some of these probes are powerful tools in the characterisation of the B and T cells, the analysis of clonality in leukemias and lymphomas, and the therapeutics follow up (residual diseases). 134 genomic sequences have been sent to the EMBL/GenBank databases.
In 1989, LIGM started IMGT/LIGM-DB the first specialised and integrated database on immunoglobulins and T cell receptors. Since May 2000 and owing to the considerable expansion and success of IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system®, the LIGM scientific activity has been mainly devoted to the IMGT research and development.
