Highly purified heme free of endotoxin contamination was used, as well as polymyxin B, anti-TLR4/MD2, and lipid A antagonist, all of which inhibited the effects of LPS but did not interfere with the induction of TNF by heme. PubMed:24904418
Thus, the intravenous administration of hemoglobin in LPS-pretreated mice leads to a higher TNF- α concentration and an increased mortality; in turn, these effects could be inhibited by hemoglobin antibodies [33, 34]. PubMed:29956069
