Schematic representation of HBOCs classification. 1st generation transporters, characterized as Hb molecules conjugated with each other and/or other materials. 2nd generation transporters, formed by materials conjugated and cross-linked materials of polymers and enzymes. 3rd generation transporters, which are characterized by Hb molecules encapsulated in nanostructures, such as liposomes or polymeric nanocapsules.
