title: Direct visualization of serotonin1D receptors in the human brain using a new iodinated radioligand.
abstract: The development of the new ligand serotonin-5-O-carboxymethyl-glycyl [125I]tyrosinamide (abbreviated [125I]GTI) allows for the direct visualization of serotonin1B and serotonin1D (5-HT1B/1D) sites. Autoradiographic techniques were used to demonstrate the selective binding of this ligand to 5-HT1D sites in human post-mortem brain materials. The distribution of [125I]GTI binding sites was compared to [3H]5-HT sites in the presence of different displacers. The results show the selective binding of [125I]GTI to sites in the basal ganglia and substantia nigra which corresponds to 5-HT1D receptors.
