Autofluorescence

Hello!
I have been asked about some flow problems with an LCL (lymphoblastic
cell lines). Specifically, even cells unstained show a bright diagnal
region equidistant from both the FL1 and FL2 axes rather than the usual
negative cells. I am not familiar with LCLs and I have never seen this
degree of autofluorescence. The investigator is presently checking on
the blocking steps and the media the cells were in. I was wondering if
anyone else has had this problem and a suggestion for this
investigator?
As always thanks in advance for your advice!

Abby
