Additional info: 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.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody 67D2 recognizes an extracellular class III epitope (not sensitive to sialidase, N-glycanase, O-glycosidase, and O-sialoglycoprotease) of CD164, a sialomucin expressed in hematopoietic myeloid and erythroid progenitors, activated basophils, and in various carcinomas and leukemic cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
