Flow cytometric analysis of Mouse CD163 expression on fresh C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes. Fresh C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow were stained with Pacific Blue™ Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80 Antibody and either Biotin Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Left panel) or SDT Biotin Rat Anti-Mouse CD163 Antibody (Right panel) at 5 μl/test followed by Sav-PE. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using BD FACSymphony™ A1 and FlowJo™ software.

Background
CD163 is a 130 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily. It is exclusively expressed on monocytes and macrophages and is involved in the clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes, which helps protect tissues from oxidative damage caused by free hemoglobin. The protein consists of nine SRCR domains, a single transmembrane segment, and a short cytoplasmic tail. CD163 is upregulated in macrophages during the switch to alternative activated phenotypes in inflammation and is considered a marker for anti-inflammatory macrophages. Elevated levels of soluble CD163, which result from the shedding of the membrane-bound form, have been observed in various acute and chronic inflammatory disorders, making it a potential biomarker for inflammation. Additionally, CD163 is being explored as a therapeutic target for delivering drugs to macrophages in inflammatory conditions.
