Here are parts 3 and 4, finished from the saved ranking. The chat JSON files aren't mounted into a fresh sandbox, so I re-ran the identical deterministic query and confirmed the top-15 and heatmap reproduce the saved artifacts exactly.
(a) Full top-15 bait–partner table
Ranked by number of cell lines passing the gate (log2 FC ≥ 1, p ≤ 0.05), then mean log2 FC as tiebreaker. Values computed this session from Zenodo 21678744; partners restricted to UniProt-annotated cell-surface proteins, bait-self rows dropped ZENODO 21678744.
| # | Bait | Partner | Cell lines | Mean log2FC |
|---|
| 1 | MET | PVR | 19 | 2.242 |
| 2 | EGFR | CD44 | 18 | 3.075 |
| 3 | EGFR | SCARB1 | 18 | 2.496 |
| 4 | MET | SLC39A10 | 18 | 2.150 |
| 5 | MET | PTK7 | 18 | 2.021 |
| 6 | MET | CBL | 17 | 2.841 |
| 7 | MET | CD44 | 17 | 2.718 |
| 8 | MET | PRNP | 17 | 2.670 |
| 9 | EGFR | ALCAM | 17 | 2.643 |
| 10 | MET | ALCAM | 17 | 2.581 |
| 11 | MET | IGKV2-40 | 17 | 2.357 |
| 12 | MET | TFRC | 17 | 2.328 |
| 13 | MET | EPHB2 | 17 | 2.233 |
| 14 | MET | PTPRK | 17 | 2.013 |
| 15 | EGFR | ITGAV | 17 | 1.938 |
Mean log2FC across the 15 runs from 3.075 (EGFR–CD44) down to 1.938 (EGFR–ITGAV). The full passing-cell-line lists were printed in the run and saved to wd/top15.json. Two entries are filter artifacts, not real bispecific candidates: CBL is a cytoplasmic E3 ubiquitin ligase and IGKV2-40 is an immunoglobulin kappa variable gene segment — both carry UniProt membrane annotations that let them clear the surface filter, but neither is a standalone surface therapeutic target.
A load-bearing caveat that applies to this whole table: the ranking is a count of p ≤ 0.05 passes across ~808,000 comparisons, and I could not confirm whether the p-values are multiplicity-corrected (see part d). If they are raw, the pass counts are inflated and the ordering could change. Treat the table as a prioritisation heuristic, not a settled ranking.
(b) Pair-specific bispecific / dual-targeting antibody — found or not found
Databases queried this turn: ClinicalTrials.gov (Cortexa trials connector) and Cortexa's literature index (PubMed/preprint-backed). Patents were not searched. I ran dedicated trial searches for the three leading pairs and literature searches for the two leading pairs; I did not run a dedicated per-pair query for the other 12 pairs. So "not found" below is scoped precisely, not blanket.
Confirmed searched and not found
- MET × PVR — ClinicalTrials.gov returned zero matches; literature returned no MET/PVR (CD155) bispecific (only MET paired with other targets).
- EGFR × CD44 — ClinicalTrials.gov returned zero matches; literature returned no EGFR/CD44 bispecific (only EGFR paired with other targets).
- MET × PTK7 — ClinicalTrials.gov returned zero matches.
The literature searches surfaced only adjacent bispecifics against a different second target, none of which is the exact pair: EGFR×CD70 (BCG020) DOI 10.1158/1538-7445.am2024-2724, EGFR×HER2 DOI 10.64898/2025.12.25.696462, EGFR×PD-1 PUBMED 33129108, MET×PD-1 PUBMED 29046141, and MET×HER3 (BCG022) DOI 10.1158/1538-7445.am2023-lb212; general dual-targeting background in PUBMED 22453100.
Not individually searched: the remaining 12 pairs (EGFR×SCARB1, MET×SLC39A10, MET×CBL, MET×CD44, MET×PRNP, EGFR×ALCAM, MET×ALCAM, MET×IGKV2-40, MET×TFRC, MET×EPHB2, MET×PTPRK, EGFR×ITGAV). I did not run dedicated queries for these, so I make no found/not-found claim about them. Several partners (CBL, IGKV2-40, PRNP, SLC39A10, TFRC) are implausible bispecific arms on biological grounds, but that is a judgement, not a database result.
Bottom line: for the three top pairs I searched, no pair-specific bispecific/dual-targeting antibody exists in ClinicalTrials.gov or the literature index as queried. The closest real programs pair the same receptor with a different antigen. This is unsurprising — these are proximity co-occurrences of a receptor with an abundant neighbour, not validated tumour-antigen pairs.
(c) Heatmap
Rendered "Mean log2 fold-change per cell line — top 5 proximity pairs" (MET→PVR, EGFR→CD44, EGFR→SCARB1, MET→SLC39A10, MET→PTK7). The matrix spans the 21 cell lines where at least one of these pairs passed the gate, with 91 non-blank cells; blank cells mean the pair did not pass in that line. Values are means of passing observations only, computed this session from ZENODO 21678744.
(d) Multiplicity question — not settled
I could not confirm whether nlog10_pvalue is a raw t-test p or an FDR/q-value. I did not reach the analysis-code deposit (Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.21679069), the paper's methods, or the supplementary this turn. The dataset carries a t_value column alongside nlog10_pvalue, which is consistent with a per-comparison (possibly uncorrected) t-test p — but that is an inference from the column layout, not a statement I read in the methods. The multiplicity status therefore remains unresolved, and because the ranking depends on it, this is a real open question rather than a formality.
Summary and caveats
Restricting to surface partners and ranking by breadth across the 28-line atlas surfaces a MET/EGFR-dominated list led by MET–PVR, EGFR–CD44, and EGFR–SCARB1. For the top pairs I searched, none has a pair-specific bispecific in ClinicalTrials.gov or the literature as queried; the closest real programs target the receptor paired with a different antigen. Caveats:
- Proximity is not binding — labelling near a bait is not evidence the two proteins interact or can be co-engaged.
- Cell lines are not tumours — 28 cultured lines need not reflect in-vivo surfaces.
- Abundance can masquerade as proximity — not corrected here; CD44, TFRC, and ALCAM recur across pairs, and I did not use the companion intensity file to control for abundance.
- Some "partners" are filter artifacts — CBL and IGKV2-40 passed the surface filter but are not real surface targets.
- The p-gate's multiplicity status is unconfirmed — this could reorder the ranking, not just perturb it.
- "Not found" is scoped — it covers only the pairs actually searched, only ClinicalTrials.gov and the literature index, and excludes patents and undisclosed industry pipelines.

If you'd like, I can next run dedicated ClinicalTrials.gov + literature (+ patent) searches for the remaining 12 pairs so every row gets a scoped verdict, and attempt the code deposit (Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.21679069) again to settle the multiplicity question.
