HS/heparin recovery in peritoneal lavage of naïve and T. gondii challenged mice. Challenged and naïve animals (48 h post-infection) were flushed with phosphate-buffered saline at physiological concentration (low salt) and followed with a high saline buffer (1.5 m NaCl) (high salt). GAGs were then isolated from lavage and cell fractions, respectively, and analyzed for HS/heparin content as described under “Experimental Procedures” (n = 3 for infected animals and n = 1 for naïve animals).
