Would you move this antibody candidate forward?

At first glance, this antibody looks like a good binder. But a closer look at the sensorgram reveals subtle features that could change your mind.

This is where expertise matters.

In our upcoming webinar, Rapid Novor's SPR expert Marko Jovic shares lessons learned from hundreds of antibody interaction studies, highlighting the recurring blind spots that can influence antibody validation, candidate selection, and downstream development. You'll also see that when SPR reveals something unexpected is happening, HDX-MS can help explain why, making the two techniques a powerful combination for antibody characterization.

We'll discuss:
• What most kinetic screens get wrong.
• The most overlooked epitope mapping scenarios.
• The “unknown” unknowns - what the synergy between HDX-MS and SPR reveal about advanced antibody biochemistry.

New research from Ben-Shalom, Freund and colleagues reveals the discovery of antibodies that can disrupt pro-survival signaling in melanoma cells, exposing a new therapeutic vulnerability.

Melanoma cells release melanosomes, specialized extracellular vesicles that normally transport melanin, but can be repurposed by cancer cells to deliver pro-tumorigenic signals to surrounding cells in the tumor microenvironment (i.e. a paracrine mechanism). The authors in this study demonstrated for the first time that melanosomes 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 support the growth and survival of the same melanoma cells that produce them (i.e. an autocrine mechanism).

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
• Immunization with melanosomes generated antibodies against extracellular HSP70, located on the melanosome vesicle surface. These antibodies acted similarly to neutralizing antibodies targeting viral antigens, blocking HSP70-mediated signaling and reducing melanoma cell survival.
• These anti-HSP70 antibodies inhibited melanoma growth 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 of additional immune effector cells (like NK cells).
• Anti-HSP70 antibodies inhibited melanoma growth in mouse models, leading to delayed tumor development and improved survival.
• In metastatic melanoma patients receiving immune checkpoint therapy, stronger anti-HSP70 antibody responses were associated with complete responses, highlighting a potential link between antibody immunity and treatment outcomes.

This work positions melanosomes as a promising platform for therapeutic discovery and identifies extracellular HSP70 as a potential target for antibody-based melanoma therapies.

Every assay tells part of the story. The best lead selection decisions come from putting the pieces together.

👉See how SPR and HDX-MS work together to provide a more complete picture of antibody–antigen interactions.

What complementary techniques does your team rely on for lead candidate selection?

Some binders never get a second chance.

Early antibody selection decisions determine which candidates move forward and which are left behind, but not all screening methods give you all the information you need to make the best decision moving forward.

Our SPR Kinetic Screening using the Biacore 1K is designed to uncover the interactions that less sensitive approaches can miss.

Because the best hit might have been the one that was left behind.
