  • 1-a Animals were dosed with 210 mg/kg anti-PCP Fab along with a tracer dose of anti-PCP [3H]Fab.

  • 1-b Animals were dosed with 8 mEq/kg NaHCO3 2 min before anti-PCP Fab and [3H]Fab administration. Additional doses of 2 mEq/kg NaHCO3 were administered every 45 min for 3 hr.

  • 1-c Statistically different from the control group (Student’st test, P < .05). All values [mean (± S.D.)] were calculated by model-independent pharmacokinetic methods.
