Abstract excerpt
[11C]-PK11195 (PK11195) has been widely used with positron emission tomography (PET) to assess levels of the translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) as a marker of neuroinflammation. Recent ligands, such as [11C]-PBR28 and [11C]-DPA713, have improved signal-to-noise ratio and specificity for TSPO over PK11195. However, these second generation radiotracers exhibit binding differences due to a single polymorphism...
