a

To establish a baseline, blood was collected at least 7 days prior to drug administration.

b

Blood was collected 7 days after drug administration.

c

p-value was determined by paired two-tailed Student's t-test.

Venous blood samples were analyzed for complete blood count, serum chemistry, total complement, and C-reactive protein. Values are expressed as mean±standard deviation. No parameters excluded from this table showed a postadministration increase to a value outside of the reference range in any primates (n=4).
