Pretargeted brain PET imaging reveals amyloid-β pathology using a TCO-modified antibody and a fluorine-18-labeled tetrazine

This study demonstrates successful pretargeted PET imaging of brain Aβ pathology using a systemically administered bispecific antibody capable of BBB penetration and a fluorine-18-labeled tetrazine. These findings establish a generalizable strategy for high-contrast in vivo imaging of brain protein targets using pretargeted PET, with the potential to expand molecular imaging to protein targets in the brain that are currently inaccessible.

Abstract

This study demonstrates successful pretargeted PET imaging of brain Aβ pathology using a systemically administered bispecific antibody capable of BBB penetration and a fluorine-18-labeled tetrazine. These findings establish a generalizable strategy for high-contrast in vivo imaging of brain protein targets using pretargeted PET, with the potential to expand molecular imaging to protein targets in the brain that are currently inaccessible.
