Description: CD163 is cell surface glycoprotein, a 175kD molecule also known as ED2. CD163 is expressed by approximately 50% of peritoneal macrophages, a subset of splenic macrophages, and by macrophages in most other tissues. However, it is not expressed by monocytes, alveolar macrophages or microglial cells.
