NOAEL is the no observed adverse effects level.
The reference weights are in Table 1 in the study, here is a link:

So if we assume that the 100 mg/kg is the NOAEL, the HED is then 13.8 mg/kg per day. The article says to add a factor of safety of 10, so its 1.38 mg/kg for the first human trials.
And the cost is $50 per 100 mg; then the price for a 90 kg man is $62.30 per day.
Is the antibody out of the question now? I’m still curious how to use this information.
