GFP along with IL-2 intracellular staining

Howdy,
	I may have missed a previous discussion on the subject of intracellular
staining along with detection of GFP.  I have looked through the archives
but wasn't able to find what I was looking for.  We have a client who is
trying to detect IL-2 intracellularlly along with detection of GFP.  They
first fix with 3% paraformaldahyde, then permeabilize with .4%
saponin.   When they analyze the sample the GFP is gone.  I imagine it is
leaking out of the cell after the permeabilization step.  Does anyone have
any tricks  to retain the GFP.	Altering the construct of the GFP so that
it will be a surface protein is not really an
option.
											Thanx
