Figure 1 Schematic illustration of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin. Abbreviations-. PEG, polyethylene gylcol HB, hemoglobin.

Figure 3 Manufacturing scheme for liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LEH). Lipid phase is mixed with hemoglobin and the mixture is homogenized in an extruder or a microfluidizer. Unencapsulated hemoglobin is separated by filtration, before PEGylation is performed by postinsertion. The resulting PEG-LEH is converted into oxyhemoglobin form and concentrated to obtain final product. Abbreviation IXC, interaction chamber.

Figure 4 A set of gamma camera images of a rabbit intravenously injected with Tc-99m-LEH. Twenty-five percent of blood was exchanged with liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LEH) (hypovolemic) and the animal was imaged using a gamma camera at various times after infusion. The images clearly show a prolonged circulation of LEH as evidenced by the continued grayscale intensity in heart.
