Intracellular Cytokine Staining

Work in my department involves determining the intracellular cytokine
stores of murine CD4 and CD8 cells.  Following staining and
assessment via flow, results to date have not demonstrated many
positive  cells, even in cell lines known to be producers of the two
cytokines we are assaying for, IL-4 and IFN-gamma.  Would anyone have
any trouble shooting tips or know of any cell lines that are
producers of these cytokines that come pre-stained for intracellular
cytokines that we can use as a positive control.

Many thanks
