All mice were maintained on a 12-hour light/dark cycle under specific pathogen-free conditions, with free access to sterile water and irradiated food
Therefore, heparin binding by apo-HPX at acidic pH in vitro likely represents an interaction between apo-HPX and a membrane-associated HSPG in vivo rather than an effect on heme binding to HPX because absorbance spectroscopy of ligand binding to hemopexin showed that heme competed effectively with heparin (80-fold molar excess) for HPX binding (Figure 8D)
