Hi Cindy

We use CD138/CD38/CD45.  Plasma cells are CD138+CD38++ and usually (but not
necessarily) CD45-.  If you set up a region on the CD138+/CD38++ and
backgate to a FSC/SSC plot the cells appear to the right of monocytes,
(i.e. larger, and sometimes more granular), and if there's not a huge and
distinctive population I find it easier to look for them on this plot than
to wonder whether they might or might not be weakly CD45+ and disappear
into the neutrophils on a CD45/SSC plot.

Good luck
