Amyloid proteins and their role in multiple sclerosis. Considerations in the use of amyloid-PET imaging
Thioflavin T derivatives are used in positron-emission tomography (PET) studies to detect amyloid protein deposits in patients with Alzheimer disease. These tracers bind extensively to white matter, which suggests that they may be useful in studies of multiple sclerosis (MS), and that proteins resul...
