Name Definition Value Unit
V pla Plasma volume 70 ml/kg
V int Interstitial volume 35 ml/kg
k pi Rate constant of plasma-interstitial transport 0.043 1/h
k ip Rate constant of interstitial-plasma transport 0.043 1/h
kb Constant thatensures quasi-steady state conditions 0.069 1/h
B max,PK Whole-body capacity 2 mg/h/kg
K M,PK Half-maximal binding capacity in vivo Inline graphic mg/ml
kel Elimination of EGFR by internalization and degradation 0.0055 1/h
q pi Plasma-interstitial transport Inline graphic ml/h

CLlin Target-independent drug clearance Inline graphic ml/h/kg

Units were converted from mg to nmol using the scaling factor Inline graphic with MW_{mAbs = 148000 g/mol, i.e., 1mg = Inline graphic nmol
