TABLE 1

Quantitation ranges of volanesorsen and selected metabolite calibration curves for plasma and urine (mouse, monkey, and human)

Lower value defined as the lower limit of quantitation and upper value defined as the upper limit of quantitation. Boldface and underlined nucleotides are 2′-O-(2-methoxyethyl)-modified. All of the cytosines were 5-methylated.
