[Extracted hemoglobins as oxygen transporters: proposal of a hemoglobin-dextran-benzenetetracarboxylate conjugate].

The implication of blood in HIV and other viruses transmission has invigorated the research for finding a fluid able to replace blood as regards its oxygen-carrying properties. In this work, the specifications of a potential substitute are first defined. Then, the means to be developed in order to match these specifications at best are precise. Afterwards, a possible oxygen-carrier, the hemoglobin-dextran-BTC conjugate, is described.
