intracellular staining of TGF-beta

We are trying to stain for intracellular TGF-beta 1 in T cells, so far
without much success, although we can clearly detect other cytokines
intracellularly and also find TGF-beta in the supernatants of the same
cells. Has anybody tried intracellular staining of TGF-beta either for
flow-cytometry or fluorescence microscope (negative results may also be
helpful)? Which antibodies (company, clone) could be suitable for detecting
the latent, intracellular form of TGF-beta 1?

Any comment would be helpful
