Spatial localization of micro positron emission tomography (μPET)-derived signal validated by immunohistochemistry. In an example of a mouse imaged 14 days after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAo) [18F]DPA-714 and [18F]BR-351 signals showed spatial agreement with immunohistochemistry for anti-TSPO and anti-MMP-9 antibody staining, respectively. (A–D) Higher magnifications are depicted for control (A and C) and lesioned (B and D) areas for anti-TSPO (A and B) and anti-MMP-9 (C and D) staining. Scale bar overview scan: 1,000 μm; scale bar (AD): 50 μm. MMP-9, matrix metalloproteinase-9; TSPO, translocator protein.
