Form of protein | n | K (1/h) | K12 (1/h) | K21 (1/h) | Vc (L) | Thalf (h) | Vehicle (unit/mL) |
BChE/hSA produced in vitro | 2 | 0.0579 (0.0) | 0.0993 (100) | 0.103 (99.9) | 0.581 (0.0) | 32.4 (29.8) | 1.83 (0.0) |
BChE produced transgenically (>70% tetramer) | 4 | 0.689 (28.4) | 0.553 (18.4) | 0.592 (0.000845) | 0.120 (42.9) | 2.74 (12.6) | 1.45 (0.0) |
CV%: The intersubject variation, reported as a percentage (%) of coefficient of variation;
K: The elimination rate constant from the central compartment;
K12: The rate constant of the protein from the central to the first peripheral compartment;
K21: The rate constant of the protein from the first peripheral to the central compartment;
Vc: The volume of the central compartment following i.v. administration;
Thalf: The apparent terminal elimination half-life;
Vehicle: The response detected by the analytical assay that is considered as background activity in untreated juvenile pig plasma, not related to the administration of the protein, using 720 units = 1 mg purified plasma huBChE and assay conditions as described in. [29].
