Note: Comparison of model-predicted [13] and experimentally measured AUCs [%ID/g day], up to 7 days post-injection, calculated for an intact antibody in mice. All blood flow rates (Q), vascular (Vv) and interstitial (Vi) volumes were simultaneously changed from literature to measured values (see Tables 1 , 2 , 3 ) for these simulations, with the exception of Vi for kidneys, for which literature values were always used due to the effects of probe clearance. Measurement of Vv was accomplished using a previously reported indirect RBC labeling method [2].
