Anti-CD163 (CD163 Antigen, Hemoglobin Scavenger Receptor, M130, M130 Antigen Precursor, Macrophage-a

CD163 is a 120kD cell surface glycoprotein that is expressed on cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. The expression levels of CD163 vary during the course of macrophage differentiation. The highest levels of CD163 expression are found on tissue macrophages but bone marrow derived cells are CD163 negative. Reported to inhibit both African swine fever infection and viral particle binding to alveolar macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry.
