The Scavenger Receptor CD163: Regulation, Promoter Structure and Genomic Organization
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
CD163 is a recently identified member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily expressed on peripheral blood monocytes and most tissue macrophages. We demonstrate that in vitro culture of human blood monocytes with recombinant M-CSF induces CD163 transcription. In contrast, dendritic differentiation in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4 suppresses CD163 mRNA and protein levels. Because an important...
