Is it possible to extract intact immunoglobulins from fresh frozen immunoglobuline-producing tumor biopsies?

For example using Ripa buffer? Or will the immunoglobulins fall apart?

Can I use western blot to assess immunoglobulin expression in cell lines?

I tried staining cytospins of the cell lines for immunoglobulins but frequently there is quite a lot of background. Could I use western blotting?

I cannot detect Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA (EBER) in the Farage cell line?

Farage is described as Epstein-Barr virus-positive, however I cannot detect expression of EBER by in situ hybridization. Can anyone explain this? http://www.atcc.org/products/all/CRL-2630.aspx

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...
