Sarah,

A helpful point about intracellular staining is that in general all the
fix/permeabilization procedures available, either commercial or home
brew,  will cause a change in the scatter properties of the cells.
Slight adjustments in your settings on the controls I know you run will
bring back your populations and this is perfectly acceptable.

Have fun,
