Overview

The Surface Protein Annotation Tool (SPAT) is a user-friendly tool that scores proteins according to the chance they have to be located at the cell surface.

In brief

  • SPAT calculates a basic score for each protein based on the combinations of selected (and regularly updated) annotations/terms extracted from multiple public proteomic databases, which is then weighted according to the eventual accumulation of “black-listed” annotation flags.
  • SPAT output also contains a series of public (when available) and in-house annotations including the verified main locations and references to verified antibodies targeting annotated proteins, the pubmed references for protein/term associations, as well as expression data and protein levels in essential human organs and normal haematopoietic progenitors (Leucegene Hemogene expression data), making it a helpful tool for the identification of immunotherapy targets.
