HIV encephalitis (HIVE) is characterized by neurodegeneration mediated by toxins derived from infected and activated brain macrophages.Since the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is abundant on brain macrophages, we hypothesized that [3H]DAA1106, a new PBR ligand, can label infected and activated brain macrophages in HIVE.Using cell culture
