mFluor™ Violet 510 Anti-human CD163 Antibody *GHI/61*

GHI/61 is an anti-human monoclonal antibody that forms an immune complex with the CD163 antigen. CD163 (alternatively called GHI/61, M130 or RM3/1) is a 134 kD glycoprotein that is found on the surface of cells such as macrophages. CD163 is associated with a variety of biologically interesting macromolecules/ligands, for instance, hemoglobin. CD163 is a fairly uncommon antibody target, with a little more than 9600 publications in the last decade. Even still, CD163 has a variety of applications in innate immunity, cell biology and immunology research, often serving as a phenotypic marker for differentiating cell types in flow cytometric applications. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography and conjugated to mFluor™ Violet 510 (ex/em = 412/505 nm). It is compatible with the 405 nm laser and 525/50 nm bandpass filter (for example, as in the BD FACSCelesta™).
