Background: [F]MK-6240 was developed for PET imaging of AD tau pathology, but the exact molecular signature of specific binding remains unclear. This study quantified levels of four phospho-tau forms and total tau in postmortem brain tissues from [F]MK-6240 imaged cases to investigate associations with antemortem [F]MK-6240 PET.

Methods: This study included four participants from the Wisconsin ADRC or WRAP with antemortem [F]MK-6240 and [C]PiB PET imaging and postmortem brain tissue obtained on average 32-months after imaging (Table 1).
