Safety, pharmacokinetic, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamic responses in healthy volunteers following a single intravenous injection of purified staphylococcal protein A.

A single-dose study was conducted to characterize the safety, pharmacokinetic, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamic activity of highly purified Staphylococcal protein A (SPA), a native bacterial protein with immune-modulatory activity. Twenty healthy adults received a single intravenous dose of either 0.3 µg/kg (n = 8) or 0.
