FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [2A10/11] recognizes CD163Mouse anti Pig CD163 antibody, clone 2A10/11 recognises porcine CD163, a 120 kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane cell surface glycoprotein 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. Expression of CD163 on peripheral blood monocytes varies between about 5% and 50% depending on the donor (Sanchez et al. 1999). Mouse anti Pig CD163, clone 2A10/11 is reported to inhibit both African swine fever infection and viral particle binding to alveolar macrophages in a dose-dependent manner (Sanchez-Torres et al. 2003).
