Description: The 20d5 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse NKG2A, C, and E. NKG2 molecules belong to a C-type lectin-like family of cell surface receptors expressed by mouse NK and NKT cell lineages. NKG2 molecules form heterodimeric complexes with CD94 and are responsible for recognition of non-classical MHC class I antigen Qa-1.
When co-staining with NKG2AB6 clone 16a11, it is important to stain for NKG2A-B6 first then subsequently with NKG2A/C/E, as steric hindrance has been observed if co-stained concurrently.
