PET and autoradiographic images of TSPO upregulation in old APP23 mice. A, Coronal PET images containing the striatum (top) and hippocampus (bottom) in 28-month-old nTg and 26-month-old APP23 Tg mice. Images were generated by averaging dynamic scan data at 30–60 min after [11C]AC-5216 injection. B, Ex vivo autoradiographic sections containing the hippocampus (at bregma −2.8 mm) in 27-month-old nTg and 30-month-old APP23 Tg mice. Brains were collected at 30 min after intravenous injection of [11C]AC-5216. C, Amyloidosis-associated in vitro autoradiographic [11C]AC-5216 signals in a 24-month-old APP23 Tg mouse brain section. The autoradiographic section (left) was subsequently stained with an amyloid dye, FSB (middle), and colocalization of radiotracer binding and plaque deposition was assessed in a merged image (right).
