title: [Study of polymerizing hemoglobin on cation exchange chromatography].
abstract: Poly-hemoglobin is the active component of hemoglobin-based blood substitutes. The excess reactivity of glutaraldehyde with hemoglobin in solution leads to poly-hemoglobin of a wide molecular weight distribution and a high average molecular weight. A new polymerization method has been tested to decrease the molecular weight distribution and the average molecular weight. The poly-hemoglobin with lower degree of modification (polymerization) was found enriched on the cation exchange columns and further polymerized with glutaraldehyde. The poly-hemoglobin of narrower molecular weight distribution has been prepared in this way.
