Methods translational simulations An mechanistic biomathematical model was constructed to describe the PK of a typical human IgG, binding of the antibody to GM-CSFR and the internalization of GM-CSFR and the antibodyCreceptor complex. The model assumed 50% absolute s.c. bioavailability, 2.5 mL kg?1 day?1 IgG clearance by the reticuloendothelial system, a distribution volume of 64 mL kg?1, and 20 pM GM-CSFR with a 1 h internalization half-life for the receptor and antibodyCreceptor complex (Roskos is the absolute s.c. bioavailability.
