[18F]DPA-714 as a biomarker for positron emission tomography imaging of rheumatoid arthritis in an animal model

Abstract

These preliminary results demonstrate that the TSPO 18 kDa specific radioligand [¹⁸F]DPA-714 is adapted for the study and follow-up of inflammation linked to RA in our experimental model, suggesting also a strong potential for clinical imaging of peripheral inflammation.
