Abstract

Neo Red Cell (NRC), which is the liposome encapsulated hemolysate, has been developed as an artificial oxygen carrier. Oxygen carrying capacity and oxygen supply rate of NRC were estimated by continuous measurement of dissolved oxygen concentration in a spinner vessel. Oxygen carrying capacity of the medium was risen by adding NRC. The oxygen supply rate of the NRC medium containing hepatocytes was determined by the oxygen consumption rate of hepatocytes. The addition of NRC gave no effect on the oxygen transfer rate from gas phase to liquid phase (or kL a value) of the solution in the spinner vessel. The rate of oxygen absorption to NRC was limited by the oxygen transfer rate from gas phase to liquid phase in the spinner vessel. These results indicate that the oxygen supply from NRC may sustain the high-density culture of mammalian cells.
