Soluble hemoglobin–haptoglobin scavenger receptor CD163 as a lineage‐specific marker in the reactive hemophagocytic syndrome
21 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Reactive hemophagocytic syndrome (RHS) is a disease of overwhelming macrophage activity triggered by infection, malignancy or autoimmune disorders. Currently used laboratory markers for the quantitative assessment of monocyte/macrophage activation lack lineage-restricted expression patterns and thus specificity. Serum levels of the macrophage specific scavenger receptor CD163 were determined by enzyme-linked...
