In vivo evidence of a functional association between immune cells in blood and brain in healthy human subjects

Highlights • We examined the immune cell marker TSPO in healthy human subjects using PET. • A strong positive correlation was observed between TSPO binding in brain and blood cells. • Associations were observed both at baseline and between two PET measurements. • Change in blood leukocyte counts was...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We examined the immune cell marker TSPO in healthy human subjects using PET. • A strong positive correlation was observed between TSPO binding in brain and blood cells. • Associations were observed both at baseline and between two PET measurements. • Change in blood leukocyte counts was correlated to change in TSPO binding. • The results indicate an association between immunological cells in blood and brain.
