Simmune Project

Simmune is a suite of software tools that guides the user through the multiple hierarchical scales of cellular behavior, facilitating the generation of comprehensive models. It was originally created to simulate immunological phenomena—hence its name, Simmune—but it is applicable to a very broad class of cell biological models.

Heterogeneity in Human Immune Cells

Heterogeneity in Human Immune Cells is a website providing interactive figures (iFigs) for a recent study of protein expression heterogeneity in human immune cells conducted by Dr. John Tsang's group (Systems Genomics and Bioinformatics Unit) at the Laboratory of Immune System Biology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Trans-NIH Center for Human Immunology.

NIAID Clinical Genomics Program Resources

Researchers involved with the NIAID Clinical Genomics Program study many diseases of the immune system that are rare and not well understood but that often shed light on basic immune function and more common immune disorders. This research is carried out across multiple labs, disease processes, and with many different tools.

The NIAID Clinical Genomics Program centralizes resources to be used for genomics and related research.

Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) Mouse BAC Library

The Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mouse, which spontaneously develops type 1 diabetes, is a valuable animal model that is used extensively in research exploring the etiology, prevention, and treatment of this disease. It is a vital research tool for testing promising prevention and treatment strategies at the preclinical level.

The NOD mouse BAC library contains 240,000 clones obtained from the Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory (Cambridge, United Kingdom).

Database of Mutations Causing Human Hyper IgE Syndrome (STAT3base)

The STAT3base contains a listing of STAT3 mutations in human HIES identified in the Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Microbiology as well as those published in the literature.
