Abbreviations: CL = clearance; V = volume of distribution; rhGH = recombinant human growth hormone; rCD4 = recombinant CD4; rt-PA = recombinant tissue plasma activator; CD4-IgG = CD4-immunoglobin. a Human weight is assumed to be 70 kg; b CL calculated from half-life and V; c V at steady state calculated from reported V of central compartment and V of peripheral compartment; * Weighted average; # Information from DrugBank (https://www.drugbank.ca/); + Information from eMC (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/) Allometrically scaled CL and V were calculated using the following equation (based on human weight of 70 kg): CLhuman=CLanimal×WThumanWTanimal0.75, and Vhuman=Vanimal×WThumanWTanimal1.
