Welcome to the The International Histocompatibility Working Group (IHWG) Cell and DNA Bank home page. Established in 1999 to support research projects of the 13th International Histocompatibility Workshop (IHWS), the Cell and DNA Bank contains a large inventory of reference material studied in 10th, 12th and 13th Workshops.  The B-cell lines and DNA reference panels available from the repository provide an extensive array of HLA and HLA-related sequence polymorphisms for the study of the human MHC.
