CD163 is useful in identifying cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage in normal and neoplastic conditions.15,16 This antibody reacts with human scavenger receptor cysteine-rich protein CD163 (p155, M130) found on mononuclear phagocytes including human monocytes and macrophages.15
Under Attack: Macrophages and their Markers Macrophages are white blood cells derived from monocytes and are known as the Pac-Man of the immune system. As the root of their name infers, these “big eaters” engulf foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, and any other non-specific protein through a process call phagocytosis. These cells play a pivotal […]

Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy or biotherapy, is a type of treatment designed to boost the body’s immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. It stimulates and awakens one’s own defense system to improve, target, or restore immune system function. In the last few decades, immunotherapy has become an important part of treating some types […]
