HEK293 Human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with either (A) Mouse NKG2A/CD159a, or (B) Mouse NKG2C/CD159c and eGFP was stained with Rabbit Anti-Mouse NKG2A/CD159a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB68671) followed by APC-conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG secondary antibody (Catalog # F0111). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # MAB1050). View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.

Background: NKG2A/CD159a

NKG2A, also known as CD159a, is a 244 amino acid (aa), ~38 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic ITIM motif and a single extracellular lectin-like domain. Within the extracellular domain (aa 94-244), mouse NKG2A shares 71% and 41% aa sequence identity with rat and human NKG2A, respectively. An isoform lacking aa 98-114 has been described. NKG2A associates with CD94 and is coexpressed on NK cells and some activated T cell populations. The NKG2A/CD94 complex delivers an inhibitory signal upon recognition of its murine ligand, Qa-1b (or HLA-E in humans) on antigen presenting cells.
