Translocator Protein (18 kDa) Polymorphism (rs6971) Explains <i>in-vivo</i> Brain Binding Affinity of the PET Radioligand [ <sup>18</sup> F]-FEPPA
4 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
[(18)F]-FEPPA binds to the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) and is used in positron emission tomography (PET) to detect microglial activation. However, quantitative interpretations of the PET signal with new generation TSPO PET radioligands are confounded by large interindividual variability in binding affinity. This presents as a trimodal distribution, reflecting high-affinity binders (HABs), low-affinity...
