A method for producing a stable polymerized hemoglobin blood-substitute from blood characterized in the use of a chromatographic column, is disclosed. The method of this invention includes mixing blood with an anticoagulant to form a blood solution, washing the red blood cells in the blood solution and then separating the washed red blood cells from the white blood cells. This method also includes disrupting the red blood cells to release hemoglobin and form a hemoglobin solution, which is then treated by high performance liquid chromatography to form a hemoglobin eluate. The hemoglobin eluate is then deoxygenated, contacted with a first reducing agent to form an oxidation-stabilized deoxygenated hemoglobin solution, and mixed with a cross-linking agent to form a polymerization reaction mixture, which is then polymerized. The polymerized hemoglobin solution is then diafiltered with a physiologic solution and with a reducing agent, whereby the polymerized hemoglobin solution is made physiologically acceptable, and whereby the reducing agent scavenges oxygen, to form a stable polymerized hemoglobin blood-substitute which is then packaged and stored in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen. Compositions made by the methods are also disclosed, as are methods of therapeutically, or prophylactically, treating a vertebrate to increase tissue oxygenation, or prevent oxygen depletion, in tissue of the vertebrate.
本发明公开了一种从血液中生产稳定聚合血红蛋白血液替代物的方法,其特点是使用色谱柱。本发明的方法包括将血液与抗凝剂混合形成血液溶液,在血液溶液中洗涤红细胞,然后将洗涤后的红细胞与白细胞分离。该方法还包括破坏红细胞以释放血红蛋白,形成血红蛋白溶液,然后用高效液相色谱法处理,形成血红蛋白洗脱液。然后将血红蛋白洗脱液脱氧,与第一还原剂接触,形成氧化稳定的脱氧血红蛋白溶液,再与交联剂混合,形成聚合反应混合物,然后进行聚合。然后用生理溶液和还原剂对聚合的血红蛋白溶液进行重过滤,从而使聚合的血红蛋白溶液成为生理上可接受的溶液,并使还原剂清除氧气,形成稳定的聚合血红蛋白血液替代物,然后将其包装并储存在基本上不含氧的环境中。此外,还公开了通过上述方法制成的组合物,以及对脊椎动物进行治疗或预防性治疗的方法,以提高该脊椎动物组织的含氧量或防止氧气耗尽。
