  2. 1. Preclinical PET imaging of Alzheimer's disease progression

    Author : Xiaotian T. Fang; Stina Syvänen; Dag Sehlin; Lars Lannfelt; Merja Haaparanta-Solin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; transgenic mice; PET; antibody-based tracer; mGluR5; ABP688; di-scFv; amyloid-β;

    Abstract : Amyloid PET imaging with [11C]PIB enabled detection of Aβ for the first time in vivo. However, [11C]PIB is a small molecule that binds only the insoluble Aβ plaque. Rather, the soluble Aβ aggregates are considered the cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). READ MORE

  4. 2. Diagnosis and Radioimmunotherapy of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

    Author : Tomas Ekberg; Matti Anniko; Jörgen Carlsson; Eva Munck-Wikland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Otorhinolaryngology; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; tumor targeting; radionuclide targeting; PET; therapy; diagnistics; antibodies; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Abstract : The diagnosis and treatment of patients with advanced tumors in the head and neck is an interesting challenge where there is a need for new approaches in diagnostics and adjuvant treatment. Differences in antigen expression between tumors and normal tissues provide a means for application of antibody-based targeting techniques. READ MORE

  5. 3. Harnessing the molecular Trojan horse : Evaluating properties of preclinical Aβ immunoPET radioligands for optimized brain delivery via the transferrin receptor

    Author : Gillian Bonvicini; Stina Syvänen; Johanna Fälting; Dag Sehlin; Ken Honek; Sahar Roshanbin; Joy Zuchero; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transferrin receptor TfR ; bispecific antibody; brain delivery; positron emission tomography PET ; Alzheimer’s disease; pharmacokinetics; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : With high specificity and selectivity to targets, antibodies are prime candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands. They do not passively cross the blood-brain barrier which has hindered their development for imaging intrabrain targets, like amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer’s disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Preclinical PET imaging and therapy of Alzheimer's disease

    Author : Silvio R. Meier; Stina Syvänen; Dag Sehlin; Greta Hultqvist; Matthias Brendel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; amyloid-beta; positron emission tomography PET ; bispecific antibody; BACE-1; TREM2; GFAP; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The main histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease are extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, containing tau protein. Because of misfolded and aggregated proteins, activated microglia and astroglia react with a neuroinflammatory response, which may contribute to disease progression and severity. READ MORE
