125I-vWF binding to heparin-agarose beads was performed in the presence of varying fluid-phase heparin or ristocetin concentrations or of 1.4 mg/mL ristocetin and varying heparin concentrations. The percentage of bound vWF is shown as bound/total radioactivity as described in Materials and Methods.
