TABLE 4

Efficacy of compound 2 following steady-state infusion Shown are data from two experiments in which compound was delivered from minipumps implanted s.c. For the lower plasma concentration, one pump/mouse contained compound at 1 mg/ml; for the higher concentration, two pumps/mouse were used, each containing 7.5 mg/ml. Mice were challenged i.n. with 10 μg of mEotaxin.
