Cd163
CD163 is a cell surface receptor that is primarily expressed on the surface of monocytes and macrophages. It functions as a scavenger receptor, playing a role in the clearance of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes from the bloodstream.

Wound Healing Histopathological Analysis
Image-Pro Plus was used to analyse the average optical density values for K1, K6, α-SMA expression. Five randomly selected fields of view were examined for each group at each time point and used to assess the average optical density value per unit area. Statistics regarding the number of positively stained cells for CD86 and CD163 were obtained using five randomly selected fields of view for each group at each time point.

Cardiomyocytes were stained with an anti-troponin I antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The thickness of the infarct was evaluated in representative slices taken in the middle of the heart by measuring the endocardium to epicardium distance using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD). Rhodamine-conjugated wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was used to outline cell membranes. Large vessels and capillaries were labelled with anti-sm22α and isolectin B4 antibodies, respectively. Leukocytes were labelled using an anti-CD45 antibody (BD Biosciences, USA), detected with an HRP/DAB system followed by haematoxylin counterstaining. A similar procedure was used to detect CD163 (Bioss Inc., USA), a receptor involved in clearance and endocytosis of haemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes by macrophages [18] (link), and VCAM-1.
Imaging was performed on an Olympus IX-81 microscope. Quantification was performed in a blinded fashion, using Volocity® software (PerkinElmer, USA).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
