[Hemoglobin niosomes. II. In vitro interactions of plasma proteins and phagocytes].
We have studied the in vitro interactions versus some blood components of the hemoglobin niosomes whose preparation and physicochemical and oxyphoric properties have been published in a precedent paper (this journal, 1989, No. 7, p. 192). This work was devoted to the research of 1) Agglutination phenomena with ABO blood group substances, plasma, some of its components and three plasma expanders, finally main erythrocytic phenotypes. 2) Adsorption of plasma proteins by immunoelectrophoresis. 3) Effects of niosomes on blood coagulation by thromboelastography. 4) Interactions between niosomes and phagocytes by electron microscopy, chemotactic migration, oxygen consumption, superoxide generation and oxydases function. These assays allow to observe and conclude that: 1) The agglutination phenomena are almost constant except with red blood cells. The agglutinates are dissociable by shaking. The agglutination appears to be nonspecific of a niosome component but is not observed with "classical" DPPC-chol-DCP liposomes. 2) Albumin and eventually transferrin are adsorbed at the surface of niosomes but without destabilizing them. 3) The vesicules show no important effects on coagulation factors, the enhancement of clotting time appearing essentially the consequence of blood dilution. 4) Niosomes phagocytosis is important but all the measurements fail to show any cellular metabolism activation: cell oxygen consumption, oxygenated metabolites generation and oxydases activity are not enhanced whatever the "electric" charge or the niosomes/phagocytes ratio used.
