VDJdb: a curated database of T-cell receptors with known antigen specificity

The primary goal of VDJdb is to facilitate access to existing information on T-cell receptor antigen specificities, i.e. the ability to recognize certain epitopes in certain MHC contexts. Our mission is to both aggregate the scarce TCR specificity information available so far and to create a curated repository to store such data. In addition to routine database updates providing the most up-to-date information, we make our best to ensure data consistency and fight irregularities in TCR specificity reporting with a complex database validation scheme.VDJdb的核心目标在于助力获取现有T细胞受体（T-cell receptor, TCR）抗原特异性相关信息，即特定主要组织相容性复合体（Major Histocompatibility Complex, MHC）背景下识别特定表位的能力。本项目的使命在于两点：一是整合目前已公开的稀缺T细胞受体特异性信息，二是搭建经人工精选审核的存储库以存储此类数据。除通过常规数据库更新提供最新信息外，我们还将依托一套复杂的数据库验证机制，尽力保障数据一致性，并纠正T细胞受体特异性信息报告中的不规范之处。

背景与挑战

背景概述

VDJdb是一个经过整理的T细胞受体（TCR）序列数据库，专注于收集具有已知抗原特异性的TCR信息。其主要目标是聚合稀缺的TCR特异性数据，并通过定期更新和验证机制确保数据的一致性与可靠性。该数据库还提供浏览、查询和注释功能，支持用户访问和分析T细胞免疫反应相关数据。
