anti-mouse surface IgG

Can anyone recommend a good antibody against mouse IgG to be used as a
primary antibody on murine B cells?

So for I've tried FITC conjugated polyclonals against IgG and IgG1 from
Southern Biotech and Sigma respectively and home grown mMb 20.9  (anti-IgG1
a allotype).  The polyclonals seem to cross react with sIgM/D.  The
monoclonal while working well in ELISA failed to stain at all  by FACS. The
polyclonals also cross reacted strongly with rat mAbs which is a problem as
I want to stain for multiple surface markers.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Jennifer
