Using bioinformatic resources in the proteomic analysis of biological fluids

On‐line databases targeted towards protein contents in biological fluids are scarce. Consequently, the investigation of proteins identified in a biological fluid most importantly depends on crosschecking information gathered from less specific resources. This review summarises the key databases and tools for collecting information on tissue specificity or expression profiles. It also emphasises the high connectivity between databases fruitfully used to corroborate and piece information together. Finally, selected issues related to appropriate bioinformatics tools in the context of clinical applications are succinctly discussed.
