I can detect my protein but the encoding DNA sequence has stop codons within. Should I ignore the stop codons?

I constructed a synthetic DNA library (scFv, VH-VL orientation) with a 3' reporter and 8x histag. I cloned and expressed this gene following which I performed an ELISA. The ELISA results suggested...
