METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF OXYGEN TRANSPORT BY CELL-FREE SYSTEMS

摘要

Compositions, and methods of use thereof, for use as blood substitute products comprise aqueous mixtures of oxygen-carrying and non-oxygen carrying plasma expanders and methods for the use thereof. The oxygen-carrying component may consist of any hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, while the non-oxygen carrying plasma expander may consist of any suitable diluent.
