Check out the enzymic amplification technique described by David Kaplan et al. Cytometry
40 (1) May 2000 page 81. We have had great success with it  detecting Fas Ligand,
increase your signal a lot without an increase in backgroound.

Greeting all:

I have a situation in which I am detecting a cytokine that its
expression is low. My question is, we are using PE as our secondary
stain and I am wondering if I use a brighter stain if my negative and
positive peaks will separate more? Is this a reasonable assumption and
if so, what stain would be best?
