Table 2.

Summary of protein pharmacokinetics expressed in terms of the lumped physiological parameters of Figure 1B: plasma metabolic clearance Clp, filtration fractions f1, f2, and lymph flows L1 L2. All results are scaled to a 70 kg human using an assumed plasma volume Vp = 2800 ml. For each species, the 4 parameters L1, L2, V1 and V2 are adjusted as described and assumed constant for all proteins studied in that species. Only 2 parameters are adjusted for each protein: ClP and f ≈f1≈f2. For human and baboon: V1/Vp =1.3, V2/Vp= 0.4. For dog and lamb: V1/Vp =1.0, V2/Vp= 0.3. “Kupffer” indicate liver Kupffer cells and “Sinusoidal” are liver parenchymal cells.(**A PK model with an additional liver compartment is used for recAP. *Clp for recAP corresponds to the liver metabolic clearance.)
