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

What could be some reasons why unstimulated monocytes are getting activated?

Im doing PBMC isolation -> CD14+ enrichment using magnetic beads -> stimulation setup. My negative control is just cells in cRPMI but they seem to get activated over and over again.
