Definitions

  • the present invention relates to blood products, and more particularly to compositions comprising a modified hemoglobin having a high affinity for oxygen and methods for making such compositions.
  • the blood is the means for delivering nutrients to the tissues and removing waste products from the tissues for excretion.
  • the blood is composed of plasma in which red blood cells (RBCs or erythrocytes), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets are suspended.
  • Red blood cells comprise approximately 99% of the cells in blood, and their principal function is the transport of oxygen to the tissues and the removal of carbon dioxide therefrom.
  • the left ventricle of the heart pumps the blood through the arteries and the smaller arterioles of the circulatory system.
  • the blood then enters the capillaries, where the majority of the exchange of nutrients and cellular waste products occurs.
  • the blood travels through the venules and veins in its return to the right atrium of the heart.
  • the blood that returns to the heart is oxygen-poor compared to that which is pumped from the heart, when at rest, the returning blood still contains about 75% of the original oxygen content.
  • the reversible oxygenation function (i.e., the delivery of oxygen) of RBCs is carried out by the protein hemoglobin.
  • hemoglobin In mammals, hemoglobin has a molecular weight of approximately 64,000 daltons and is composed of about 6% heme and 94% globin. In its native form, it contains two pairs of subunits (i.e., it is a tetramer), each containing a heme group and a globin polypeptide chain. In aqueous solution, hemoglobin is present in equilibrium between the tetrameric (MW 64,000) and dimeric forms (MW 32,000); outside of the RBC, the dimers are prematurely excreted by the kidney (plasma half-life of approximately 2-4 hours).
  • RBCs contain stroma (the RBC membrane), which comprises proteins, cholesterol, and phospholipids.
  • a blood substitute is a blood product that is capable of carrying and supplying oxygen to the tissues.
  • Blood substitutes have a number of uses, including replacing blood lost during surgical procedures and following acute hemorrhage, and for resuscitation procedures following traumatic injury.
  • Plasma expanders are blood substitutes that are administered into the vascular system but are typically not capable of carrying oxygen. Plasma expanders can be used, for example, for replacing plasma lost from burns, to treat volume deficiency shock, and to effect hemodilution (e.g., for the maintenance of normovolemia and to lower blood viscosity).
  • blood substitutes can be used for these purposes or any purpose in which banked blood is currently administered to patients.
  • FIG. 1 See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,001,401 to Bonson et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 4,061,736 to Morris et al.
  • the current human blood supply is associated with several limitations that can be alleviated through the use of an exogenous blood substitute.
  • an exogenous blood substitute To illustrate, the widespread availability of safe and effective blood substitutes would reduce the need for banked (allogeneic) blood.
  • such blood substitutes would allow the immediate infusion of a resuscitation solution following traumatic injury without regard to cross-matching (as is required for blood), thereby saving valuable time in resupplying oxygen to ischemic tissue.
  • blood substitutes can be administered to patients prior to surgery, allowing removal of autologous blood from the patients which could be returned later in the procedure, if needed, or after surgery.
  • exogenous blood products not only protects patients from exposure to non-autologous (allogeneic) blood, it conserves either autologous or allogeneic (banked, crossmatched) blood for its optimal use.
  • Blood substitutes can be grouped into the following three categories: i) perfluorocarbon-based emulsions, ii) liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin, and iii) modified cell-free hemoglobin. As discussed below, none has been entirely successful, though products comprising modified cell-free hemoglobin are thought to be the most promising.
  • Perfluorochemical-based compositions dissolve oxygen as opposed to binding it as a ligand. In order to be used in biological systems, the perfluorochemical must be emulsified with a lipid, typically egg-yolk phospholipid. Though the perfluorocarbon emulsions are inexpensive to manufacture, they do not carry sufficient oxygen at clinically tolerated doses to be effective.

  • stroma red cell residue
  • FSH stroma-free hemoglobin
  • animal blood e.g., bovine or porcine hemoglobin
  • bacteria or yeast or transgenic animals or plants molecularly altered to produce a desired hemoglobin product.
  • the chemical modification is generally one of intramolecular cross-linking, oligomerization and/or polymer conjugation to modify the hemoglobin such that its persistence in the circulation is prolonged relative to that of unmodified hemoglobin, and its oxygen binding properties are similar to those of blood.
  • Intramolecular cross-linking chemically binds together subunits of the tetrameric hemoglobin unit to prevent the formation of dimers which, as previously indicated, are prematurely excreted. (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,296,465 to Rausch et al.)

  • the present invention also circumvents the requirement for blood-type cross-matching and the associated laboratory testing, allowing for earlier and safer intervention in patient treatment.

  • preparing hemoglobin further comprises isolating hemoglobin from red blood cells.
  • the step of preparing the hemoglobin can further comprise isolating hemoglobin from red blood cells, wherein the hemoglobin has a methemoglobin/total hemoglobin ratio of 0.10 or greater, and exposing the hemoglobin to aerobic conditions (i.e. to the atmosphere) for a time sufficient to lower the methemoglobin/total hemoglobin ratio to less than 0.10.

  • the present invention is directed to blood substitutes comprising HBOCs having high oxygen affinity.
  • these compositions are capable of delivering oxygen to tissues more efficiently than blood substitutes with oxygen affinities that approximate native hemoglobin.
  • hemoglobin refers generally to the protein contained within red blood cells that transports oxygen.
  • Each molecule of hemoglobin has 4 subunits, 2 ⁇ chains and 2 ⁇ chains, which are arranged in a tetrameric structure.
  • Each subunit also contains one heme group, which is the iron-containing center that binds oxygen.
  • each hemoglobin molecule can bind 4 oxygen molecules.
  • modified hemoglobin includes, but is not limited to, hemoglobin altered by a chemical reaction such as intra- and inter-molecular cross-linking, genetic manipulation, polymerization, and/or conjugation to other chemical groups (e.g., polyalkylene oxides, for example polyethylene glycol, or other adducts such as proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, synthetic polymers and the like).
  • hemoglobin is “modified” if any of its structural or functional properties have been altered from its native state.
  • the term “hemoglobin” by itself refers both to native, unmodified, hemoglobin, as well as modified hemoglobin.
  • surface-modified hemoglobin is used to refer to hemoglobin described above to which chemical groups such as dextran or polyalkylene oxide have been attached, most usually covalently.
  • surface modified oxygenated hemoglobin refers to hemoglobin that is in the “R” state when it is surface modified.
  • stroma-free hemoglobin refers to hemoglobin from which all red blood cell membranes have been removed.
  • hemoglobin refers to an oxidized form of hemoglobin that contains iron in the ferric state and cannot function as an oxygen carrier.
  • MalPEG-Hb refers to hemoglobin to which malemidyl-activated PEG has been conjugated.
  • MalPEG may be further referred to by the following formula:
  • Hb refers to tetrameric hemoglobin
  • S is a surface thiol group
  • Y is the succinimido covalent link between Hb and Mal-PEG
  • R is an alkyl, amide, carbamate or phenyl group (depending on the source of raw material and the method of chemical synthesis)
  • PHP and POE are two different PEG-modified hemoglobin.
  • perfluorocarbons refers to synthetic, inert, molecules that contain fluorine atoms, and that consist entirely of halogen (Br, F, Cl) and carbon atoms. In the form of emulsions, they are under development as blood substances, because they have the ability to dissolve many times more oxygen than equivalent amounts of plasma or water.
  • plasma expander refers to any solution that may be given to a subject to treat blood loss.
  • oxygen carrying capacity refers to the capacity of a blood substitute to carry oxygen, but does not necessarily correlate with the efficiency in which it delivers oxygen. Oxygen carrying capacity is generally calculated from hemoglobin concentration, since it is known that each gram of hemoglobin binds 1.34 ml of oxygen. Thus, the hemoglobin concentration in g/dl multiplied by the factor 1.34 yields the oxygen capacity in ml/dl. Hemoglobin concentration can be measured by any known method, such as by using the ⁇ -Hemoglobin Photometer (HemoCue, Inc., Angelholm, Sweden). Similarly, oxygen capacity can be measured by the amount of oxygen released from a sample of hemoglobin or blood by using, for example, a fuel cell instrument (e.g., Lex-O 2 -Con; Lexington Instruments).
  • a fuel cell instrument e.g., Lex-O 2 -Con; Lexington Instruments.
  • oxygen affinity refers to the avidity with which an oxygen carrier such as hemoglobin binds molecular oxygen. This characteristic is defined by the oxygen equilibrium curve which relates the degree of saturation of hemoglobin molecules with oxygen (Y axis) with the partial pressure of oxygen (X axis). The position of this curve is denoted by the value, P50, the partial pressure of oxygen at which the oxygen carrier is half-saturated with oxygen, and is inversely related to oxygen affinity. Hence the lower the P50, the higher the oxygen affinity.
  • the oxygen affinity of whole blood (and components of whole blood such as red blood cells and hemoglobin) can be measured by a variety of methods known in the art. (See, e.g., Winslow et al., J.
  • Oxygen affinity may also be determined using a commercially available HEMOXTM Analyzer (TCS Scientific Corporation, New Hope, Pa.). (See, e.g., Vandegriff and Shrager in “Methods in Enzymology” (Everse et al., eds.) 232:460 (1994)).
  • hypothalamic means a colloidal solution with a colloidal osmotic pressure (oncotic) than blood (>approximately 25-27 mm Hg).
  • Colloid osmotic pressure may be measured by any suitable technique, such as in a Wescor instrument.
  • oxygen-carrying component refers broadly to a substance capable of carrying oxygen in the body's circulatory system and delivering at least a portion of that oxygen to the tissues.
  • the oxygen-carrying component is native or modified hemoglobin, and is also referred to herein as a “hemoglobin based oxygen carrier,” or “HBOC”.
  • hemodynamic parameters refers broadly to measurements indicative of blood pressure, flow and volume status, including measurements such as blood pressure, cardiac output, right atrial pressure, and left ventricular end diastolic pressure.
  • crystalloid refers to small molecules (usually less than 10 ⁇ ) such as salts, sugars, and buffers. Unlike colloids, crystalloids do not contain any oncotically active components and equilibrate in between the circulation and interstitial spaces very quickly.
  • crystalloid in contrast to “crystalloid” refers to larger molecules (usually greater than 10 ⁇ ) that equilabrate across biological membranes depending on their size and charge and includes proteins such as albumin and gelatin, as well as starches such as pentastarch and hetastarch.
  • colloid osmotic pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a colloid to equilibrate fluid balance across a membrane.
  • stable to autooxidation refers to the ability of a HBOC to maintain a low rate of autoxidation.
  • HBOC is considered stable at 24° C. if the methemoglobin/total hemoglobin ratio does not increase more than 2% after 10 hours at 24° C. For example, if the rate of autoxidation is 0.2 hr ⁇ 1 , then if the initial percentage of methemoglobin is 5%, HBOC would be considered stable at room temperature for 10 hours if this percentage did not increase above 7%.
  • metalhemoglobin/total hemoglobin ratio refers to the ratio of deoxygenated hemoglobin to total hemoglobin.
  • mixture refers to a mingling together of two or more substances without the occurrence of a reaction by which they would lose their individual properties;
  • solution refers to a liquid mixture;
  • aqueous solution refers to a solution that contains some water and may also contain one or more other liquid substances with water to form a multi-component solution;
  • approximately refers to the actual value being within a range, e.g. 10%, of the indicated value.
  • polyethylene glycol refers to liquid or solid polymers of the general chemical formula H(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OH, where n is greater than or equal to 4. Any PEG formulation, substituted or unsubstituted, can be used.
  • compositions and methods of the present invention do not require comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of oxygen delivery and consumption, basic knowledge regarding some of these putative mechanisms may assist in understanding the discussion that follows. It has generally been assumed that the capillaries are the primary conveyors of oxygen to the tissue. However, regarding tissue at rest, current findings indicate that there is approximately an equipartition between arteriolar and capillary oxygen release. That is, hemoglobin in the arterial system is believed to deliver approximately one third of its oxygen content in the arteriolar network and one-third in the capillaries, while the remainder exits the microcirculation via the venous system.
  • the artery wall requires energy to effect regulation of blood flow through contraction against vascular resistance.
  • the arterial wall is normally a significant site for the diffusion of oxygen out of the blood.
  • current oxygen-delivering compositions e.g., HBOCs
  • HBOCs may release too much of their oxygen content in the arterial system, and thereby induce an autoregulatory reduction in capillary perfusion. Accordingly, the efficiency of oxygen delivery of a blood substitute may actually be hampered by having too much oxygen or too low an oxygen affinity.
  • the rate of oxygen consumption by the vascular wall i.e., the combination of oxygen required for mechanical work and oxygen required for biochemical synthesis, can be determined by measuring the gradient at the vessel wall. See, e.g., Winslow, et al., in “Advances in Blood Substitutes” (1997), Birkhauser, ed., Boston, Mass., pages 167-188.
  • Present technology allows accurate oxygen partial pressure measurements in a variety of vessels.
  • the measured gradient is directly proportional to the rate of oxygen utilization by the tissue in the region of the measurement.
  • Such measurements show that the vessel wall has a baseline oxygen utilization which increases with increases in inflammation and constriction, and is lowered by relaxation.
  • the vessel wall gradient is inversely proportional to tissue oxygenation.
  • Vasoconstriction increases the oxygen gradient (tissue metabolism), while vasodilation lowers the gradient. Higher gradients are indicative of the fact that more oxygen is used by the vessel wall, while less oxygen is available for the tissue. The same phenomenon is believed to be present throughout the microcirculation.
  • Winslow “Acute changes in systemic blood pressure and urine output of conscious rats following exchange transfusion with diaspirin-crosslinked hemoglobin solution,” Transfusion 33: 701-708, (1993)).
  • Human hemoglobin crosslinked between ⁇ chains with bis-dibromosalicyl-fumarate ( ⁇ Hb) was developed by the U.S. Army as a model red cell substitute, but was abandoned by the Army after demonstration of severe increases in pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance (Hess, J., V. Macdonald, A. Murray, V. Coppes, and C. Gomez, “Pulmonary and systemic hypertension after hemoglobin administration” Blood 78: 356A (1991)).
  • a commercial version of this product was also abandoned after a disappointing Phase III clinical trial (Winslow, R. M. “ ⁇ -Crosslinked hemoglobin: Was failure predicted by preclinical testing?” Vox sang 79: 1-20 (2000).
  • vasoconstriction produced by cell-free hemoglobin is that it readily binds the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, nitric oxide (NO).
  • NO endothelium-derived relaxing factor
  • recombinant hemoglobins with reduced affinity for NO have been produced which appear to be less hypertensive in top-load rat experiments (Doherty, D. H., M. P. Doyle, S. R. Curry, R. J. Vali, T. J. Fattor, J. S. Olson, and D. D. Lemon, “Rate of reaction with nitric oxide determines the hypertensive effect of cell-free hemoglobin,” Nature Biotechnology 16: 672-676 (1998)) (Lemon, D. D., D. H.
  • Oxygen affinity of cell-free hemoglobin may play an additional role in the regulation of vascular tone, since the release of O 2 to vessel walls in the arterioles will trigger vasoconstriction (Lindbom, L., R. Tuma, and K. Arfors, “Influence of oxygen on perfusion capillary density and capillary red cell velocity in rabbit skeletal muscle,” Microvasc Res 19: 197-208 (1980)).

In most instances, this means that the HBOC in the blood substitute will have a P50 less than 10, and more preferably less than 6. In the free state, SFH has a P50 of approximately 15 torr, whereas the P50 for whole blood is approximately 28 torr. It has previously been suggested that increasing oxygen affinity, and thereby lowering the P50, may enhance delivery of oxygen to tissues, although it was implied that a P50 lower than that of SFH would not be acceptable.
  • SFH stroma-free hemoglobin
  • Hemoglobin is known to exhibit autooxidation when it reversibly changes from the ferrous (Fe 2+ ) to the ferrie (Fe 3+ ) or methemoglobin form. When this happens, molecular oxygen dissociates from the oxyhemoglobin in the form of a superoxide anion (O 2 ⁇ ). This also results in destabilization of the heme-globin complex and eventual denaturation of the globin chains. Both oxygen radical formation and protein denaturation are believed to play a role in vivo toxicity of HBOCs (Vandegriff, K. D., Blood Substitutes, Physiological Basis of Efficacy, pages 105-130, Winslow et al., ed., Birkhauser, Boston, Mass. (1995).)
  • the present invention relates, in part, to the unexpected finding that the PEG-Hb conjugates described herein exhibit very low rates of autooxidation. When measured as a rate of oxidation, this value should be as low as possible (i.e.,0.2% per hour of total hemoglobin, more preferably 0.1% per hour of total hemoglobin, at room temperature for at least 3 hours, and more preferably at least 10 hours. Thus, the HBOCs of the present invention remain stable during administration and/or storage at room temperature.
  • the oxygen-carrying component is modified hemoglobin.
  • a preferred modification to hemoglobin is “surface-modification,” i.e. covalent attachment of chemical groups to the exposed amino acid side chains on the hemoglobin molecule.
  • Modification is carried out principally to increase the molecular size of the hemoglobin, most often by covalent attachment of polymeric moieities such as synthetic polymers, carbohydrates, proteins and the like. Generally, synthetic polymers are preferred.
  • Suitable synthetic hydrophilic polymers include, inter alia, polyalkylene oxide, such as polyethylene oxide ((CH 2 CH 2 O) n ), polypropylene oxide ((CH(CH 3 )CH 2 O) n ) or a polyethylene/polypropylene oxide copolymer ((CH 2 CH 2 O) n —(CH(CH 3 )CH 2 O) n ).
  • polyalkylene oxide such as polyethylene oxide ((CH 2 CH 2 O) n ), polypropylene oxide ((CH(CH 3 )CH 2 O) n ) or a polyethylene/polypropylene oxide copolymer ((CH 2 CH 2 O) n —(CH(CH 3 )CH 2 O) n ).
  • Other straight, branched chain and optionally substituted synthetic polymers that would be suitable in the practice of the present invention are well known in the medical field.
  • PEG polyethylene glycol
  • PEGs are polymers of the general chemical formula H(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OH, where n is generally greater than or equal to 4.
  • PEG formulations are usually followed by a number that corresponds to their average molecular weight.
  • PEG-200 has an average molecular weight of 200 and may have a molecular weight range of 190-210.
  • PEGs are commercially available in a number of different forms, and in many instances come preactivated and ready to conjugate to proteins.
  • An important aspect of preferred embodiments of the present invention is that surface modification takes place when the hemoglobin is in the oxygenated or “R” state. This is easily accomplished by allowing the hemoglobin to equilibrate with the atmosphere (or, alternatively, active oxygenation can be carried out) prior to conjugation. By performing the conjugation to oxygenated hemoglobin, the oxygen affinity of the resultant hemoglobin is enhanced. Such a step is generally regarded as being contraindicated, since many researchers describe deoxygenation prior to conjugation to diminish oxygen affinity. See, e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,903.
  • the number of PEGs to be added to the hemoglobin molecule may vary, depending on the size of the PEG.
  • the molecular size of the resultant modified hemoglobin should be sufficiently large to avoid being cleared by the kidneys to achieve the desired half-life.
  • Blumenstein, et al. determined that this size is achieved above 84,000 molecular weight.
  • Blumenstein, et al. in “Blood Substitutes and Plasma Expanders,” Alan R. Liss, editors, New York, N.Y., pages 205-212 (1978).
  • the HBOC have a molecular weight of at least 84,000.
  • the HBOC is a “MalPEG,” which stands for hemoglobin to which malemidyl-activated PEG has been conjugated.
  • MalPEG may be further referred to by the following formula:
  • Hb refers to tetrameric hemoglobin
  • S is a surface thiol group
  • Y is the succinimido covalent link between Hb and Mal-PEG
  • R is an alkyl, amide, carbamate or phenyl group (depending on the source of raw material and the method of chemical synthesis)
  • the blood substitute may also comprise a crystalloid.
  • the crystalloid component can be any crystalloid which, in the form of the blood substitute composition, is preferably capable of achieving an osmolarity greater than 800 mOsm/l, i.e. it makes the blood substitute “hypertonic”.
  • suitable crystalloids and their concentrations in the blood substitute include, e.g., 3% NaCl, 7% NaCl, 7.5% NaCl, and 7.5% NaCl in 6% dextran. More preferably, the blood substitute has an osmolarity of between 800 and 2400 mOsm/l.
  • the compositions of present invention may provide improved functionality for rapid recovery of hemodynamic parameters over other blood substitute compositions, which include a colloid component.
  • Small volume highly hypertonic crystalloid infusion e.g., 1-10 ml/kg
  • the blood substitutes of the present invention are formulated by mixing the oxygen carrier and other optional excipients with a suitable diluent.
  • concentration of the oxygen carrier in the diluent may vary according to the application, and in particular based on the expected post-administration dilution, in preferred embodiments, because of the other features of the compositions of the present invention that provide for enhanced oxygen delivery and therapeutic effects, it is usually unnecessary for the concentration to be above 6 g/dl, and is more preferably between 0.1 to 4 g/dl.
  • Suitable diluents include, intra alia, proteins, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and other colloids. It is not intended that these embodiments be limited to any particular diluent. Thus, it is intended that the diluent encompass aqueous cell-free solutions of albumin, other colloids, or other non-oxygen carrying components, and the aqueous solution has a viscosity of at least 2.5 cP. In some preferred embodiments, the viscosity of the aqueous solution is between 2.5 and 4 cP. It is contemplated that the present invention also encompasses solutions with a viscosity of 6 cP or greater.
  • Trauma An acute loss of whole blood can result in a fluid shift from the interstitial and intracellular spaces to replace the lost volume of blood while shunting of blood away from the low priority organs including the skin and gut. Shunting of blood away from organs reduces and sometimes eliminates O 2 levels in these organs and results in progressive tissue death. Rapid restoration of O 2 levels is contemplated as perhaps resulting in a signficantly better salvage of tissues in patients suffering such acute blood loss.
  • Ischemia In ischemia, a particular organ (or organs) are “starved” for oxygen. Small sections of the organ, known as infarcts, begin to die as a result of the lack of O 2 . Rapid restoration of O 2 levels is critical is stemming infarct formation in critical tissues. Conditions resulting in ischemia include heart attack, stroke, or cerbrovascular trauma.
  • Hemodilution In this clinical application, a blood substitute is required to replace blood that is removed pre-operatively. It is contemplated that the patient blood removal occurs to prevent a requirement for allogeneic transfusions post-operatively. In this application, the blood substitute is administered to replace (or substitute for) the O 2 levels of the removed autologous blood. This permits the use of the removed autologous blood for necessary transfusions during and after surgery. One such surgery requiring pre-operative blood removal would be a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure.
  • Sickle cell anemia In sickle cell anemia, the patient is debilitated by a loss of O 2 levels that occurs during the sickling process as well as a very high red blood cell turnover rate.
  • the sickling process is a function of PO 2 where the lower the PO 2 , the greater the sickling rate. It is contemplated that the ideal blood substitute would restore patient O 2 levels to within a normal range during a sickling crisis.
  • Cardioplegia In certain cardiac surgical procedures, the heart is stopped by appropriate electrocyte solutions and reducing patient temperature. Reduction of the temperature will significantly reduce the P50, possibly preventing unloading of O 2 under any ordinary physiological conditions. Replacement of O 2 levels is contemplated as potentially reducing tissue damage and death during such procedures.
  • Organ Perfusion During the time an organ is maintained ex vivo, maintaining O 2 content is essential to preserving structural and cellular intergrity and minimizing infarct formation. It is contemplated that a blood substitute would sustain the O 2 requirements for such an organ.
  • Hematopoiesis It is contemplated that the blood substitute serves as a source for heme and iron for use in the synthesis of new hemoglobin during hematopoiesis.
  • the present invention can also be used in non-humans.
  • the methods and compositions of the present invention may be used with domestic animals such as livestock and companion animals (e.g, dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles), as well as other animals in aquaria, zoos, oceanaria, and other facilities that house animals. It is contemplated that the present invention finds utility in the emergency treatment of domestic and wild animals suffering a loss of blood due to injury, hemolytic anemias, etc.
  • embodiments of the present invention are useful in conditions such as equine infectious anemia, feline infectious anemia, hemolytic anemia due to chemicals and other physical agents, bacterial infection, Factor IV fragmentation, hypersplenation and splenomegaly, hemorrhagic syndrome in poultry, hypoplastic anemia, aplastic anemia, idiopathic immune hemolytic conditions, iron deficiency, isoimmune hemolytic anemia, microangiopathic hemolytic, parasitism, etc.
  • the present invention finds use in areas where blood donors for animals of rare and/or exotic species are difficult to find.
  • Step-1 Provided of Outdated Red Blood Cells
  • Outdated packed red blood cells are procured from a commercial source, such as the San Diego Blood Bank or the American Red Cross. Preferably, outdated material is received not more than 45 days from the time of collection. Packed RBCs (pRBCs) are stored at 4 +2° C. until further processed (1-7 days). All units are screened for viral infection and subjected to nucleic acid testing prior to use.
  • Packed red blood cells are pooled into a sterile vessel in a clean facility. Packed red blood cell volume is noted, and hemoglobin concentration is determined using a commercially available co-oximeter or other art-recognized method.
  • Leukodepletion i.e. removal of white blood cells
  • membrane filtration i.e. removal of white blood cells
  • Step-4 Cell Separation and Cell Wash
  • Red blood cells are washed with six volumes of 0.9% sodium chloride. The process is carried out at 4 ⁇ 2° C. The cell wash is analyzed to verify removal of plasma components by a spectrophotometric assay for albumin.
  • Step-5 Red Blood Cell Lysis and Removal of Cell Debris
  • Washed red blood cells are lysed at least 4 hours or overnight at 4 ⁇ 2° C. with stirring using 6 volumes of water. Lysate is processed in the cold to purify hemoglobin. This is achieved by processing the lysate through a 0.16- ⁇ m membrane. Purified hemoglobin is collected in a sterile depyrogenated vessel. All steps in this process are carried out at 4 ⁇ 2° C.
  • Viral removal is performed by ultrafiltration at 4 ⁇ 2° C.
  • Hemoglobin purified from lysate and ultrafiltration is exchanged into Ringer's lactate (RL) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) using a 10-kD membrane.
  • the hemoglobin is then concentrated using the same membrane to a final concentration of 1.1-1.5 mM (in tetramer).
  • Ten to 12 volumes of RL or PBS are used for solvent exchange. This process is carried out at 4 ⁇ 2° C.
  • the pH of the solution prepared in RL is adjusted to 7.0-7.6.
  • Hemoglobin in PBS or Ringer's lactate(RL) is sterile-filtered through a 0.45- or 0.2- ⁇ m disposable filter capsule and stored at 4 ⁇ 2° C. before the chemical modification reaction is performed.
  • Thiolation is carried out using 10-fold molar excess iminothiolane over hemoglobin for 4 hours at 4+2° C. with continuous stirring.
  • Thiolated hemoglobin is PEGylated using a 20-fold molar excess of Mal-PEG (with an alkyl or phenyl linker) based on starting tetrameric hemoglobin concentration.
  • the hemoglobin is first allowed to equilibrate with the atmosphere to oxygenate the hemoglobin. The reaction takes place for 2 hours at 4 ⁇ 2° C. with continuous stirring.
  • PEGylated-Hb is processed through a 70-kD membrane to remove excess unreacted reagents or hemoglobin. A 20-volume filtration is carried out to ensure removal of unreacted reagents, which is monitored by size-exclusion chromatography at 540 nm and 280 nm. The protein concentration is diluted to 4 g/dl. The pH is adjusted to 7.3 ⁇ 0.3 using 1 N NaOH.
  • the final MalPEG-Hb product is sterile-filtered using a 0.2- ⁇ m sterile disposable capsule and collected into a sterile depyrogenated vessel at 4 ⁇ 2° C.
  • PEGylated Hb is diluted to 4 g/dl RL, pH adjusted to 7.4 ⁇ 2
  • the final blood substitute composition is sterile-filtered (0.2 ⁇ m) and aliquoted by weight into sterile glass vials and closed with sterile rubber stoppers with crimped seals in a laminar flow hood and stored at ⁇ 80° C. until use.
  • Homogeneity and molecular size of the MalPEG-Hb blood substitute are characterized by Liquid Chromatography (LC).
  • Analytical LC is used to evaluate homogeneity of the PEGylated hemoglobin and extent of removal of unreacted Mal-PEG.
  • Absorbance at 540 nm is used to evaluate hemoglobin and resolves PEGylated hemoglobin from unreacted hemoglobin by peak position.
  • Absorbance at 280 nm is used to resolve PEGylated hemoglobin from free Mal-PEG, which absorbs in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum due to the ring structures in MalPEG.
  • UV ultraviolet
  • Optical spectra are collected using a rapid scanning diode array spectrophotometer (Milton Roy 2000 or Hewlett Packard Model 8453) in the Soret and visible regions for analysis of hemoglobin concentration and percent methemoglobin by multicomponent analysis (Vandegriff, K. D., and R. E., Shrager. Evaluation of oxygen equilibrium binding to hemoglobin by rapid-scanning spcetrophotometry and singular value decomposition. Meth. Enzymol. 232: 460-485 (1994).
  • MalPEG-Hb concentration and percentage methemoglobin are determined using a co-oximeter. Viscosity is determined using a Rheometer. Colloid Osmotic Pressure is determined using a colloid osmometer. Oxygen binding parameters are determined from oxygen equilibrium curves.
  • the number “m” in Formula I is the parameter that defines the number of PEG polymers attached to the surface of hemoglobin.
  • a dithiopyridine calorimetric assay (Ampulski, R., V. Ayers, and S. Morell. Determination of the reactive sulfhydryl groups in heme proteins with 4, 4′-dipyridinesdisulde. Biocheim. Biophys. Acta 163-169, 1969) is used to measure the number of available thiol groups on the surface of the Hb tetramer before and after thiolation and then again after Hb PEGylation. Human hemoglobin contains 2 intrinsic reactive thiol groups at the ⁇ 93Cys residues, which is confirmed by the dithiopyridine reaction.
  • FPLC is performed for analysis of the final MalPEG-Hb product.
  • Typical chromatograms are displayed in FIG. 1 for MalPEG-Hb compared to unmodified SFH.
  • the retention time for SFH is approximately 57 min.
  • the retention time for MalPEG-Hb is approximately 44 min.
  • Hemoglobin-oxygen equilibrium binding curves were measured as described previously (Vandegriff, K. D., R. K. Rohlfs, M.D. Magde, and R M. Winslow. Hemoglobinoxygen equilibrium cures measured during enzymatic oxygen consumption. Anal. Biochem. 256:107-116, 1998).
  • FIG. 2 shows representative curves comparing stroma-free hemoglobin (SFH) and MalPEG-Hb solutions.
  • This solution property of MalPEG-Hb is due to the strong interaction between polyethylene glycol chains and solvent water molecules. This is believed to be an important attribute for a blood substitute for two reasons: 1) higher viscosity decreases the diffusion constant of both the PEG-Hb molecule and gaseous ligand molecules diffusing through the solvent, and 2) higher viscosity increases the shear stress of the solution flowing against the endothelial wall, eliciting the release of vasodilators to counteract vasoconstriction. As shown in Table 2, the viscosity of the MalPEG-Hb solution is 2.5 cPs.
  • Tetrameric hemoglobins show nearly ideal solution behavior; whereas hemoglobins conjugated to PEG have significantly higher colloid osmotic activity and exhibit solution non-ideality (Vandegriff, K. D., M. Mcarthy, R. J. Rohls and R. M. Winslow. Colloid osmotic properties of modified hemoglobins: chemically cross-linked versus polyethylene glycol surface-conjugated. Biophys. Chem. 69: 23-30 (1997). As shown in Table 2, the COP of the MalPEG-Hb solution is 50.
  • the hemorrhage protocol we used is based on the model of Hannon and Wade (Hannon, J., C. Wade, C. Bossone, M. Hunt, R. Coppes, and J. Loveday, “Blood gas and acid-base status of conscious pigs subjected to fixed-volume hemorrhage and resuscitated with hypertonic sali dextran,” Circ Shock 32: 19-29 (1990)). Hemorrhage was begun approximately 3 minutes after completion of the exchange transfusion by pumping out arterial blood from the femoral artery at a rate of 0.5 m/min to remove 60% of the blood volume by the end of 60 minutes. Blood samples (0.3 ml) were taken every 10 minutes for hematologic and blood gas analysis.
  • the baseline, post-ET and post-hemorrhage (60 minute) measurements are shown in Table 5.
  • the mean hematocrit was slightly higher in the POE compared to PHP animals, but after exchange transfusion the values were identical in the two groups.
  • the mean hematocrit in the POE animals was again slightly higher than in the PHP animals.
  • Similar minor differences are found in the total hemoglobin values, with POE animals being slightly higher at all sampling points. Plasma hemoglobin was not different in the two groups, but was significantly higher in the POE animals after the exchange period.
  • the mean arterial pressure during exchange transfusion is shown in FIG. 6. Baseline mean arterial pressures are indistinguishable for the two groups. However, the blood pressure response to infusion of the PEG-hemoglobins is significantly different between the two groups. The initial rise in MAP is greater in the PHP compared to the POE animals, and it is sustained for the duration of the infusion period. In contrast, the MAP in the POE animals returns to baseline by the end of the infusion.
  • the fall in MAP is immediate in the PHP animals and delayed in the POE group. Furthermore, the MAP is sustained at or near baseline values for the entire hemorrhage and beyond for the POE animals, while the MAP never returns to baseline values in the PHP animals. Especially in the PHP animals, the scatter in the data, as indicated by increasing standard errors, increases with time as animals drop out of the PHP group.
  • stage I represented the transfer from frozen storage at the production facility to temperature conditions during shipping to the clinical site (frozen storage study).
  • Stage II represented the thawing of the MalPEG-Hb for 24 hours to +4° C. and subsequent storage at +4° C. for five days (refrigerated study).
  • Stage III represented the thawing of the MalPEG-Hb for 24 hours to +4° C. and subsequent storage of MalPEG-Hb at room temperature for several days prior to patient administration (room temperature study).
  • Stability was defined by the rate of oxidation of the MalPEG-Hb test material.
  • the percentage of methemoglobin in the sample was measured using co-oximetry (IL Co-oximetry 682). Measurements were made in duplicate at each time point according to the protocol.
  • Temperatures were monitored by thermometer or termperature chart recorders.

  • the refrigerated study was conducted over a temperature range of +4.0 ⁇ 0.2° C.

Similarly, MalPEG-Hb showed no change in percent methemoglobin during five day storage at +4° C. as shown in FIG. 9. During storage at room temperature, MalPEG-Hb showed less than 1 percent increase in methemoglobin over a ten hour period as shown in FIG. 10.
