The development of radiotracers for use in vivo to image β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques in cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an important, active area of research. The presence of Aβ aggregates in the brain is generally accepted as a hallmark of AD. Since the only definitive diagnosis of AD is by postmortem staining of affected brain tissue, the development of techniques which enable one to image Aβ plaques in vivo has been strongly desired. Furthermore, the quantitative evaluation of Aβ plaques in the brain could facilitate evaluation of the efficacy of antiamyloid therapies currently under development. This paper reviews the current situation in the development of agents for SPECT-based imaging of Aβ plaques in Alzheimer's brains.

Amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) play an important role in the pathophysiology of dementia of the Alzheimer's type and in amyloid angiopathy. Aβ outside the CNS could contribute to plaque formation in the brain where its entry would involve interactions with the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Effective antibodies to Aβ have been developed in an effort to vaccinate against Alzheimer's disease. These antibodies could interact with Aβ in the peripheral blood, block the passage of Aβ across the BBB, or prevent Aβ deposition within the CNS. To determine whether the blocking antibodies act at the BBB level, we examined the influx of radiolabeled Aβ (125I-Aβ1-40) into the brain after ex-vivo incubation with the antibodies. Antibody mAb3D6 (élan Company) reduced the blood-to-brain influx of Aβ after iv bolus injection. It also significantly decreased the accumulation of Aβ in brain parenchyma. To confirm the in-vivo study and examine the specificity of mAb3D6, in-situ brain perfusion in serum-free buffer was performed after incubation of 125I-Aβ1-40 with another antibody mAbmc1 (DAKO Company). The presence of mAbmc1 also caused significant reduction of the influx of Aβ into the brain after perfusion. Therefore, effective antibodies to Aβ can reduce the influx of Aβ1-40 into the brain.
