Figure 1From: Hepatic Overexpression of Hemopexin Inhibits Inflammation and Vascular Stasis in Murine Models of Sickle Cell DiseasePlasma hemopexin is decreased in sickle mice. Plasma was collected from the abdominal aortae of C57BL/6, NY1DD, Townes-AA and Townes-SS mice (n = 4/group). Plasma (1 µL) was run on western blots and immunostained for murine hemopexin (68 kDa) or IgG (155 kDa). Bar graph represents relative hemopexin band intensities (mean + SD) relative to C57BL/6. *p < 0.01 NY1DD versus C57BL/6 and Townes-SS versus Townes-AA.Back to article page
