While not directly linked to immunotherapy, Spectrin beta 3 is implicated in cancer progression and neuronal disorders. Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)-based assays (as described for other antibodies ) could enhance functional studies of SPTBN2/2887R by:
Quantifying binding kinetics (e.g., ) to Spectrin beta 3 isoforms.
Screening for cross-reactivity with homologous proteins (e.g., Spectrin beta 1/2) .
