| 摘要 |
<p>Stroma-free deoxy mammalian tetrameric hemoglobin is crosslinked with certain bis-diaspirin esters and modified pyridoxal-5"-phosphate followed by reduction to produce bis-diamide covalently crosslinked, pyridoxal-5"-phosphate covalently modified tetrameric hemoglobin wherein the crosslinking and modifying bonds occur in the beta cleft. The modified crosslinked stroma-free tetrameric hemoglobin of this invention is a disease-free, oxygen transporting discrete molecular species, free from cell surface antigens, having use as a substitute for transfusion of red blood cells. This modified crosslinked stroma-free hemoglobin is a stable oxygen carrying protein capable of oxygen delivery to perfused tissue and advantageously remaining in the intravascular space. </p> |
