The FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD163 antibody (Clone MAC2-158) (ABIN6253944) specifically detects CD163 in WB, FACS, ELISA, ICC and FM.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The CD163 antigen is the cysteine-rich human scavenger receptor protein (p155, M130) found on mononuclear phagocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. CD163 is up-regulated on mononuclear phagocytes by IL-4, IL-6 and dexamethasone and serves as a receptor for the hemoglobin / haptoglobin complex. Expression of CD163 is restricted to cells of monocyte lineage and increases as the monocytes mature into macrophages. CD163 is present on all CD14 + monocytes, most CD64+ monocytes, and demonstrates higher expression on CD16+ monocytes. Stimulation of monocytes and macrophages by lipopolysacharide (LPS), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) causes shedding of CD163 from the cell surface into plasma or supernata
