Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pittsburgh Blue dye (PiB) has an affinity for beta-amyloid, allowing for imaging of amyloid deposits in the brain. This makes it possible to diagnose Alzheimer's disease before death. MRI scans, autoradiography, and immunocytochemistry are methods used in neuroscience research but do not specifically target beta-amyloid.
