> We are trying to stain B cells from rat spleen using anti-CD45RA
> (Pharmingen, PE conjugate). We do not fix the cells in formaldehyde since
> it is known to alter CD45RA staining.  In some experiments, we see clean
> separation between stained and unstained cells.  However, in other
> experiments there is a small population of cells (approx. 5-15%) that is
> between the two peaks or near the positive peak.  The PBL from the same
> animal has a clean positive peak for CD45RA.  We are not sure if this is a
> real finding, a problem with our sample preparation method or the
> antibody.

> We would appreciate any help on this matter.
