Anti FITC antibody

Hi
I have a FITC-conjugated peptide that binds to the surface of a cell line
and gives only a moderate intensity of FL1 signal (in 2nd decade) when
analyzed by flow cytometry.  Unfortunately, I do not have a biotin-labelled
peptide in order to use a PE-strepavidin second reagent to amplify the
signal.  Could any one tell me if there is a possibility to use an
anti-FITC antibody conjugated to PE as a second reagent to amplify the
fluorescent signal.  How much signal amplification I could possibly achieve
using this PE conjugated-anti-FITC antibody method and can I use another
FITC-labeled antibody to label another surface antigen
simultaneously?  Does anyone know  a source of this antibody?  I would
appreciate all useful info and help on this.

Thanks
SATHI
