Hi L, "Hemopure(R) (HBOC-201) Hemopure is a sterile, intravenously administered Oxygen Therapeutic(TM) solution that delivers oxygen to tissues and enhances the offloading of oxygen from circulating red blood cells. It consists of ultra-pure, chemically cross-linked bovine hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen) formulated in a balanced salt solution. This stabilized, acellular hemoglobin circulates directly in plasma (the fluid part of blood) when infused and has lower viscosity and releases oxygen to tissues more efficiently than red blood cells. Hemopure is compatible with all blood types, stable at room temperature (2 degrees to 30 degrees C) for three years, and purified through patented and proprietary techniques that are validated to remove potential contaminants, including infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses and the agents thought to cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies." This is a direct quote from Biopure's latest news release on Hemopure. The very last line pertains to what most investigators consider the most likely agents of mad cow disease. Hope this helps, Tom
