Mouse Cluster Of Differentiation (CD163) ELISA Kit

CD163 is a 130 kDa scavenger receptor glycoprotein expressed predominantly on the surface of monocytes and mature tissue macrophages, where it functions as the primary receptor for haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes and mediates clearance of free hemoglobin during hemolysis. This Mouse Cluster of Differentiation CD163 ELISA Kit from Assay Genie provides quantitative measurement of CD163 protein in mouse research samples.

Used across immunology, inflammation, and macrophage polarization research, the kit supports studies of M2 macrophage markers, the acute-phase response, hemoglobin metabolism, and conditions including sepsis, atherosclerosis, liver fibrosis, and chronic inflammatory disease. Researchers use mouse CD163 measurements to characterize alternatively activated macrophage populations and to track soluble CD163 shedding in circulation as a biomarker of macrophage activation.

The kit is supplied in a microplate format configured for 96 assays per run and is compatible with standard plate readers. It is a research use only product for laboratory investigation of mouse models in academic and biopharma settings. Compatible samples include cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates collected from mouse studies.

Each kit includes pre-coated microplate wells, biotinylated detection antibody, standard, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, wash buffer, substrate solution, and stop reagent. The standard assay workflow involves sequential incubation and wash steps with absorbance measurement following the colorimetric reaction.
