Ectopic expression of the sodium-iodide symporter enables imaging of transplanted cardiac stem cells in vivo by SPECT or PET

OBJECTIVES: We examined the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) which promotes in vivo cellular uptake of (99m)Tc or (124)I, as a reporter gene for cell tracking by SPECT or PET imaging. BACKGROUND: Stem cells offer the promise of cardiac repair. Stem cell labeling is a prerequisite to tracking cell fate...
