Stroma-free hemoglobin cross-linked with reagents that mimic 2,3 diphosphoglycerate and transform stroma-free hemoglobin into a physiologically competent oxygen carrier which is retained in vivo for adequate periods of time and thus can be used in fluids for transporting oxygen; reagents for cross-linking stroma-free hemoglobin and method for cross-linking stroma-free hemoglobin. |
