The Na+/I- symporter (NIS) has been proposed to serve as an imaging reporter gene to optimize vector delivery, monitor therapeutic gene expression, and map the tissue/organ sites of repopulated progenitor cells in vivo. In addition, NIS can serve as a therapeutic gene to facilitate targeted radionuclide therapy for various cancers.
