*

Subject was not able to abstain from tobacco smoking for the required period.

**

Poor venous access during and post IV nicotine challenge for subject #10 thus no nicotine plasma levels obtained on either scan day.

AUC – area under plasma nicotine concentration time curve, Cmax – maximal concentration of plasma nicotine, Tmax – time to reach Cmax, Cl – clearance of nicotine, VD – volume of distribution. Pre – data from SPECT scan day prior to treatment with 3′-AmNic-rEPA; Post – data from SPECT scan day after treatment with 3′-AmNic-rEPA. SD – standard deviation.

Ab (μg/mL) – antibody concentration levels on scan day 2.

T1 – at time 1 (before immunization); T2 – at time 2 (after immunization)
