| Research Abstract |
The serum levels of soluble CD163 reflected the activity of rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, the serum levels of soluble CD163 were elevated in active hepatitis. The shedding of soluble CD163 was inhibited by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3. This finding suggests that ADAM family proteinase might be involved in the cleavage of membranous CD163.
The complex of haptoglobin and hemoglobin was bound to soluble CD163 as previously reported. Additionally, we found that hemoglobin alone could bind to soluble CD163.
