The PE-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD163 antibody (Clone GHI-61) (ABIN781803) specifically detects CD163 in FACS.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
This antibody recognizes CD163, an approximately 130 kDa high affinity scavenger receptor expressed mainly on monocytes and macrophages, which binds hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex.

Background
CD163, also known as M130, is a member of the scavenger receptor family, accounting for the clearance of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes during limited hemolysis, which protects the body, in particular the kidneys, against heme-mediated oxidative damages. It does not have measurable affinity for noncomplexed hemoglobin or haptoglobin. Immunomodulatory role of CD163 has been postulated. CD163 is expressed by cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage and its extracellular part also circulates in plasma as a soluble protein, especially during sepsis and other conditions affecting macrophage activity, when its level may raise manyfold.Synonyms: Hemoglobin scavenger receptor, M130, Macrophage marker, Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130
