  • Publication number: 20100278887
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a haemoglobin for the preparation of dressings and to the resulting dressings.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 10, 2008
    Publication date: November 4, 2010

  • Publication number: 20100234275
    Abstract: The present invent ion relates to the use of a high molecular weight extracellular hemoglobin for the manufacture of a medicament for treating and/or preventing diseases by inhibition of calcium. Advantageously, the extracellular hemoglobin is obtained from Annelids. In particular, the invention concerns the use of a high molecular weight extracellular hemoglobin for the manufacture of a medicament for treating and/or preventing cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, angina such as angina pectoris, Raynaud's disease, arteriopathy, tachycardia, vasospasm, ischemia, myocardial infarct ion, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia or cerebrovacular accident.

    Inventors: Franck Zal, Morgane Rousselot
  • Publication number: 20100209902
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one globin and/or at least one globin protomer and/or at least one naturally extracellular native hemoglobin for the preservation of organs, tissues, organ and tissue cells and cell cultures.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 25, 2008
    Publication date: August 19, 2010
    Applicants: HEMARINA SA, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE, UNIVERSITE PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE (PARIS 6)
    Inventors: Franck Zal, Morgane Rousselot, Delphine Dutheil
  • Patent number: 7776526
    Abstract: Method of dissociating the extracellular haemoglobin molecule of annelids, e.g. Arenicola marina, which can be used to obtain the protein chains forming the molecule. The method includes a step of bringing an extracellular haemoglobin sample from annelids, e.g. Arenicola marina, into contact with at least one dissociating agent, e.g. a mixture containing dithiothreitol (DTT) or tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) hydrochloride or beta-mercaptoethanol and a dissociation buffer for a sufficient length of time in order to separate the protein chains from one another.
    Type: Grant

    Assignees: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie
    Inventors: Franck Zal, Christine Chabasse, Morgane Rousselot, Xavier Bailly
  • Publication number: 20080305178
    Abstract: A blood substitute, of an extracellular haemoglobin having a molecular weight of approximately 3 to approximately 4 million daltons, comp sing chains of polymerised globins, containing free cysteines capable of binding to NO and/or SNO groups, and having a P50 of approximately 6 to approximately 7 mm Hg, and methods using the blood substitute.
