CD163 (Cluster of Differentiation 163) is a human protein encoded by the CD163 gene. It has also been shown to mark cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage. CD163, a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily, is exclusively expressed by monocytes and macrophages. Using FISH, somatic cell hybrid analysis, and radiation hybrid analysis, CD163 gene was mapped the to chromosome 12p13.3. CD163 is upregulated in a large range of diseases inflammatory diseases including type 2 diabetes, macrophage activation sickness, Tangier's disease, reumatoid arthritis etc.Uniprot ID:Q86VB7Entrez Gene ID:9332Intended Use:CD163 BioAssay ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA for quantitative detection of human CD163 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin).Range:1.56-100ng/mlSensitivity:<150 pg/ml Specificity:Natural and recombinant human CD163Crossreactivity:No detectable crossreactivity with other relevant proteinsIntra-Assay CV(%): 4.2, 4.5,5.3Inter-Assay CV(%): 6.7, 5.4, 5.6Kit Components:143759A: Microtiter Strips, 1x96 wells*143759B: CD163 Standard, 2x1 vial143759C: Anti-human CD163 (Biotin), 1x130ulUSB Cat NoKit Component143696: Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 1x130ul (1:100 dilution)143697: Sample Diluent Buffer, 1x30ml143698: Antibody Diluent Buffer, 1x12ml143699: ABC Diluent Buffer, 1x12ml143700: TMB Color Developing Agent, 1x10ml143701: TMB Stop Solution, 2N H2SO4, 1x10mlStorage and Stability:Store *143759B powder at 4°C.
