CD163 [clone EP324 replacing EP152], anti-human

Description: CD163 is an acute phase-regulated receptor involved in the clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes by macrophages, thereby protecting tissues from free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage. Expression of CD163 is restricted to cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. This antibody labels monocytes and macrophages in the spleen and peripheral blood. The CD163 antibody might be used for identifying tumors of monocytic origin.Localization: membrane, cytoplasmDilution: 50-200Positive Control: spleen, uterusHIER: Tris EDTA pH8.0Status: RUO
