title: [Animal trials for mPEG-modified red blood cells].
abstract: This study was aimed to investigate the survival rate and difference of transfused modified and unmodified RBC at 24 hours. The modified and unmodified RBC from mice, monkey, pig and human were labeled by using FITC, then these blood RBCs were transfused to homogeneous and heterogeneous animals. The result showed that 24 hour survival rate of unmodified mice RBC transfused to mice was 74%, while survival rate of 2.0 mmol/L mPEG-SPA modified mice RBC transfused to mice was 45%, difference between them was significant. The 24 hour survived rate of unmodified human RBC transfused to mice was 8%, while 24 hours survival rate of 2.0 mmol/L mPEG-SPA modified human RBC transfused to mice was 5% without statistical difference. The 24 hour survived rate of homogeneous transfusion of modified monkey RBC was 90%, while survival rate of modified human and pig RBC was zero on 24 hours after transfusion to monkey. It is concluded that RBC labeling methods and mice species are unrelated to 24 hours survival rate, but mPEG variety and concentration are related to mouse RBC life-span. It is incredible to use mouse RBC homogeneous transfusion result instead of human RBC to evaluate longevity and safety of modified human RBC. But modified human RBC transfused to mice can be a model to evaluate longevity of modified human RBC. It is very difficult to get the result about modified RBC life span by RBC transfusion among great heterogeneous mammal animals. So evaluation in large mammal animal models needs to be further studied.
