CD68 and
CD163 are consistently positive in macrophages and are negative in carcinoma cells.
When considering the diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma, an appropriate panel of stains includes several immunohistochemical stains and special stains, specifically CD34, CD43, lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, CD68 (monocyte marker),
CD163 (monocyte marker), and CD117 (3, 4, 6).
These immunohistochemical studies included reagents specific for CD3, CD11c, CD20, CD33, CD43, CD68, CD117,
CD163, lysozyme, and myeloperoxidase.
Soluble
CD163, a novel marker of activated macrophages, is elevated and associated with noncalcified corollary plaque in HIV-infected patients.

Free hemoglobin dimers bind to haptoglobin with very high affinity, and these complexes are rapidly removed by a macrophage receptor
CD163.
The new study indeed showed that arterial inflammation in the HIV-positive group was correlated with levels of soluble
CD163, a marker of monocyte activation.
We tested the regulation of the proinflammatory genes CD14, IL6, IL8, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1), CC12, PAH, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFa) and the anti-inflammatory genes
CD163, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (ILIra), and IL10, all reported to code for secreted proteins that are up-regulated in obesity (Fain 2010).
The method involves administering an effective amount of a substance which can activate the
CD163 hemoglobin scavenger receptor signal transduction pathway.
This was confirmed by the immunohistochemical staining for macrophage marker
CD163 (Fig.
CRx-170 did not show a modulation of the inflammatory marker
CD163 from the treatment baseline, although nortriptyline clearly did decrease
CD163 on its own.

CD163, CD68 (Figure 1, B, inset), and lysozyme.
