Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion in the application of information technology to biological data. Although the use of information science techniques is less common for the discipline of immunology, this field has seen great strides in recent years. This review addresses why in silico modeling is needed in immunology research, highlights some of the major areas of research and suggests what may be important for the future of immunoinformatics.
