Table 4.

Antidotal efficacy of oxime TAB2OH and human BChE in OP exposed mice. Protective index is the ratio of LD50 for OP exposed animals with pretreatment/therapy and animals exposed to OP only. In parentheses 95% confidence limits of Protective Index and MDP (the highest multiple of the OP LD50, which was fully counteracted by the antidotal treatment) are also given.
