compensation problem?

Hello everone,

	I am having a problem compensating  cells for one of the
investigators here. She is using transplated Wt mouse peritoneal cells.  She
is staining for B220 (pe-cy5), IgM (pe) and IgD (fitc).  Single color
controls of the same cells look great and compensate nicely.  The problem
occurs when the B220 and the IgM are together.	We don't see this problem
with the same antibodies when used with peritoneal cells from Wt mice or
transgenic mice.  We also do not see this problem when using bone marrow or
splenocytes from the transplanted mice.  I have back gated the offending
cell population to see if they were possibly dead cells or some other sub
population, but they are interspersed  pretty evenly throughout the cell
population.  Has anyone else run into this problem?  Any tips?	Thanks in
advance for any help.
