CD163 positive subsets of blood dendritic cells: the scavenging macrophage receptors CD163 and CD91 are coexpressed on human dendritic cells and monocytes

MB Maniecki, HJ Møller, SK Moestrup, BK Møller - Immunobiology, 2006 - Elsevier
CD163 and CD91 are scavenging receptors with highly increased expression during the
differentiation of monocytes into the anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. In addition,
CD91 is expressed in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs), where the receptor is
suggested to be important for internalization of CD91-targeted antigens to be presented on
the dendritic cell surface for T-cell stimulation. Despite their overlap in functionality, the
expression of CD91 and CD163 has never been compared and the expression of CD163 in …
