摘要:
Described herein is a composition and process for synthesizing a human serum albumin (HSA) based plasma replacement composition that includes a polymerized HSA (PolyHSA) that is chemically stabilized by the reduction of Schiff bases. The PolyHSA may have a molecular weight of at least about 100 kDa and may optionally have a cross-linker to HSA molar ratio of at least about 10:1. The PolyHSA composition is useful for restoring a subject's circulatory volume.

Described herein is a composition and process for synthesizing a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) composition that includes a polymerized hemoglobin locked in at least one of the tense or relaxed quaternary state and has a molecular weight of at least about 500 kDa. The PolyHb may have a cross-linker to hemoglobin molar ratio of at least about 20:1. The polymerized hemoglobin is useful for delivering oxygen to cells, such as for treatment of anemic conditions in a subject, perfusion of tissues or organs, and supplementing cell culture media in cell culturing systems.
