Can I leave my Expi293F culture expressing for more than 7 days?

The growth and expression characteristics of Expi293F cells are such that, by 7 days post-transfection, the culture medium should be close to being spent and maximal protein expression should have already been achieved. Continued incubation will result in a large decrease in cell culture viability.

What method do you recommend for quantifying rabbit IgG expression from pRABBIT IgG IRES-EmGFP Positive Control Vector, Cat. No. A39243?

The formation of intact IgG molecules may be quantified using a sandwich ELISA designed to capture and detect rabbit IgG. Besides the rabbit IgG positive control vector, reagents, and consumables that are included in the kit, you will also need purified rabbit IgG to be used as a standard, F(ab')2-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, HRP (Cat. No. A10547), Protein A Coated Plates, Clear, 96-Well (Cat. No. 15130), TMB Substrate Kit (Cat. No. 34021), SuperBlock (TBS) Blocking Buffer (Cat. No. 37535), and PBS or TBS buffer for washes. There is an example procedure in our Protein A Coated Plates manual (https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/MAN0011310_Thermo Scientific_ProteinA_G_AG_Coat_96Well_UG.pdf). Please note that our R&D scientists determine titer values from crude cell culture supernatants using a Pall Life Sciences FortéBio Octet instrument equipped with a Protein A biosensor.
