Official Title: Central Nervous System Uptake of Anti-CD8+ T Cell Minibodies in Multiple Sclerosis and Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy: A Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
Background:Multiple sclerosis (MS) and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) are disorders that affect the central nervous system (CNS).The CNS includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves.Both diseases can cause muscle weakness and impair vision, speech, and coordination.Researchers are working to better understand how MS and PML affect the CNS.Objective: To test whether an experimental radioactive tracer (minibody) can help positron emission tomography (PET) scans detect certain immune cells in…
