Animals were challenged with a target dose of 200 LD50 equivalents of B. anthracis (Ames strain) spores. Due to mortality following challenge, PK parameters were based on composite mean concentrations from all animals per time point per dose group (male and female values combined), analyzed as one profile.
All animals succumbed to anthrax and obiltoxaximab; therefore, concentration data were incomplete.
Values are combined-sex means.
