Some isotypes are stickier than others?

Hello,
Does anyone know why some mouse Ab isotypes give more background than others
when staining human cells? We stained single cell suspensions form human
lung enzymatic digests and have a lot of problems with mouse IgG2a
antibodies: the isotype control stains very bright. Mouse IgG1 and IgG2b are
less of a problem...
Could someone explain this selective phenomenon and/or recommend an optimal
blocking strategy to get rid of the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Karim
