Abstract
The amyloid neuritic plaque is considered to be a toxic collection of amyloid-ß protein found in brain tissue in Alzheimer's disease. A neutral analogue of the amyloid-binding thioflavin-T (BTA), has been radiolabeled as [C-11]-6-OH-BTA-1. It crosses the blood brain barrier, and is a promising tracer for imaging plaques in vivo using positron emission tomography. We now report the biodistribution and dosimetry of [C-11]-6-OH-BTA-1 in baboons.
