What do you think about using only secoundary conjugated Ab in indirect flow cytometry when you do not have the proper unconjugated isotype control?

The textbooks say we should always use the same concentration of isotype control as the test monoclonal Ab in flow cytometry assays to detect surface expression of a molecule. In my experiment,...
