Product Details anti-CD163 Antibody

Specificity: This antibody is specific for CD163. Clone RM 3/1 recognizes a membrane glycoprotein on monocytes and macrophages which is expressed in intermediate and late inflammatory stages. Does not react with lymphocytes, granulocytes or platelets. Positive staining can be observed in the skin (histiocytes), gut, Kupffer cells, few alveolar macrophages, a major population of macrophages in the placenta, varying degrees of macrophages in inflamed tissues, including tumorous tissue depending on the inflammatory stage. Red pulp, but not white pulp macrophages of the spleen, and cortical macrophages of the thymus are detected. Macrophages in the synovialis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In alveolar macrophages and in Kupffer cells a double staining can be observed with clone 25F9 which is not the case in other tissues.

Target Details for CD163

Target: CD163

Alternative Name: CD163

Background: CD163 is a scavenger receptor for the haemoglobin-haptoglobin complex, and is upregulated by glucocorticoids and IL-10. The extracellular portion of the receptor is regularly shed and can be found in the circulation. An important function of CD163 seems to be in the adhesion of monocytes to activated endothelial cells. CD163-positive cells include skin histiocytes, Kupffer cells, spleen macrophages of the red pulp, and some thymus macrophages. The antigen is also found abundantly in human term placenta, and regularly in acute and chronic inflammatory lesions.Synonyms: Hemoglobin scavenger receptor, M130, Macrophage marker, Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130
