Synthesis and Evaluation of a Fluorine-18 Radioligand for Imaging Huntingtin Aggregates by Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging
Mutations in the huntingtin gene (HTT) triggers aggregation of huntingtin protein (mHTT), which is the hallmark pathology of neurodegenerative Huntington’s disease (HD). Development of a high affinity 18F radiotracer would enable the study of Huntington’s disease pathology using a non-invasive imagi...
