Translocator protein is a marker of activated microglia in rodent models but not human neurodegenerative diseases

2022-03-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Microglial activation plays central roles in neuro-inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Positron emission tomography (PET) targeting 18kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO) is widely used for localising inflammation in vivo, but its quantitative interpretation remains uncertain. For the first time, we show that TSPO gene and protein expression increases in activated microglia in mouse...
