calcium flux with primary cell cultures

Problem:
diminished (barely detectable) calcium flux response to anti-CD3 in culture
primary cells (mouse spleen)

Other observations:
indo-1 loading is a before; response to ionomycin is as expected. Instrument
configuration, alignment, and laser power are all as before; anti-CD3
(Pharmingen) is new vial though is claimed to be same lot# and used at same
concentration.

History:
cells from similar mice(same strain, age, isolation method) have given good
responses in past; protocols for dye loading, cell incubation, antibody/agonist
exposure, instrument setup are said by user to remain the same.

Any thoughts?
