MCF-7 cells that express endogenous sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) and SNU-C5 cells adenovirally transduced with the human NIS gene (SNU-C5/NIS) were treated with 10(-7) -2-10(-4) mol/L theophylline for 24 hours before incubation with I-125, and then, radioiodide uptake and retention were measured," scientists in Seoul, South Korea report.
