a Schematics showing the sites of vector injections in the striatum in Monkey E. AAV2.1-A-Syn-GFP vector into the caudate nucleus and the same vector at a higher-titer (Syn-GFP, high) into the putamen on one side, and AAV2-CMV-GFP vector into the caudate nucleus and AAV2-Syn-GFP vector into the putamen on the other side. b Representative PET images overlaid on MR images showing [11C]DCZ-specific binding taken before (Pre) or at 80 and 184 days after the vector injections. Each value of binding potential is expressed as the regional binding potential relative to a nondisplaceable radioligand in tissue (BPND). c Time-dependent changes of [11C]DCZ-specific binding at the sites of vector injections. Values before the injections, corresponding to (Pre) in b, are plotted at Day 0. d Representative PET&MR-fused images showing normalized [18F]FDG uptake following vehicle administration (Control) or DCZ administration at 86 and 193 days after the vector injections. Each value of FDG uptake is expressed as the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) to the mean value of the whole brain, averaged between 60 and 90 min after the radioligand injection. e Schematics showing the sites of vector injections in Monkey F. AAV2-Syn-GFP vector into the caudate nucleus and AAV2.1-A-Syn-GFP vector into the putamen on one side, and AAV2 vector with Syn promoter but without GFP tag (AAV2-Syn) into the caudate nucleus and AAV1-Syn-GFP vector into the putamen on the other side. f Representative PET images overlaid on MR images showing [11C]DCZ-specific binding taken before (Pre) or at 64 and 358 days after the vector injections. g Time-dependent changes of [11C]DCZ-specific binding at the sites of vector injections. Values before the injections are plotted at Day 0. h Representative PET&MR-fused images showing normalized [18F]FDG uptake following vehicle administration or DCZ administration at 72 and 365 days after the vector injections.
