Lack of active accumulation of a NIS substrate in NIS KO mice. (a) SPECT/CT analysis of 3-month-old female WT and NIS KO mice fed a CD (coronal and sagittal views). WT mice accumulate 99mTcO4 in the thyroid (T), salivary glands (SG), and stomach (S). NIS KO mice accumulate 99mTcO4 only in the bladder (B). Images are displayed as % injected dose/cc. (b) Quantitation of 99mTcO4 in the corresponding dissected organs 3 hours after injection of the isotope (n = 2–3) with gamma well counting. Activity is expressed as % injected dose/gram of tissue. T = thyroid, SG = salivary gland, S = stomach, Blo = blood, B = bladder. *Indicates p < 0.05, # p < 0.01.
