Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting-Radioligand Treated Tissue (FACS-RTT) is a powerful tool to study the role of the 18 kDa translocator protein or Serotonin 5HT2A-receptor expression in Alzheimer's Disease at a cellular scale. This protocol describes the ex-vivo application of FACS-RTT in the TgF344-AD rat model.
