Transfection efficiency is the ratio between cells expressing the transfected protein and the total number of cells. So in your case it will be about detecting HA epitope (by IM I guess) and counting cells.
Anand Patwardhan Dominique Liger Thank you for responding. I want to transfect the T98G cell line with a plasmid from a pseudogene. However, the plasmid description on Addgene mentioned that there is a HA (N terminal on backbone) tag. I was wondering if there is any way to get the transfection efficiency using this tagged protein, without the HA antibody would be preferable. Again, thank you so much.
