['The CD163 is a scavenger receptor expressed exclusively on monocytes/macrophages which has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous sCD163 on production of selected cytokines by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of house dust mite allergic patients (AAPs) stimulated in vitro with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) allergens.', 'The study was performed in 24 AAPs and 12 healthy control subjects (HCs). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured for up to 144h (T', 'Dp-stimulated PBMC from AAPs released more IL-10 and IL-13 than those from HCs. The greatest up-regulation of IL-10 expression was seen at T'] Does soluble CD163 modulate cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated by Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergens in vitro?
