  • Animals received 76, 52, or 24 μg of polymer at 66 h after administration of 60 μg of MORF-antibody. Control animals received 24 μg of polymer but did not receive antibody.

  • * Student t test for significance, P < 0.05 (statistically significant values are underlined).

  • Data are expressed as average %ID/g ± SD; n = 4.
