Table 5. Quantitative autoradiography.
Brain tissue | Binding of 99m Tc-VHH | Competion binding | |
Monomeric Aβ | Fibrillar Aβ | ||
ng (± sd) | ng (± sd) | ng (± sd) | |
APP/PS1 | 98.8 (±20,7)* | 60.1 (±22.2) | 31.4 (±14.3) |
Wildtype | 86.4 (±14.8) | 56.4 (±19.5) | 27.1 (±12.5) |
AD human | 190.1 (±73.5)* | 81.4 (± N.D.) | 42.3 (±29.2) |
Control human | 102.3 (±30.2) | 27.2 (± N.D.) | 49.9 (±17.4) |
Differences in radioactivity were measured after application of 1 µg 99mTc-pa2H to human and murine APP/PS1 brain sections.
Statistical difference (p<0.05) between either murine or human control versus Aβ bearing sections.
