Abstract

Oxyhemoglobin(oxyHb) of Hb-based oxygen carriers reacts with hydrogen peroxide(H ₂O ₂) to convert metHb and loses its oxygen binding ability. We have developed Hb-vesicles which encapsulate concentrated Hb with phospholipids bilayer membrane. In this study, we constructed a suppression system of metHb formation within Hb-vesicles using the peroxidase activity of metHb with L-Tyr. We could suppress the metHb formation of the oxyHb solution by adding metHb/L-Tyr in the experiment of stepwise addition of H ₂O ₂. We also confirmed similar effect in Hb vesicles coencapsulating metHb/L-Tyr. Furthermore, it was also effective in vivo. We concluded that H ₂O ₂ was stably eliminated by the metHb/L-Tyr system in Hb-vesicles, and oxyHb was protected from H ₂O ₂ reaction.
