FIGURE 1. 131I-MIBG uptake by UVW cells and EJ138 cells, untransfected and transfected with the NAT gene. Uptake evaluation was performed after administration of 7 kBq 131I-MIBG in the presence or absence of 1.5 mmol/L DMI, a specific inhibitor of NAT-mediated uptake. Data are mean ± SD of 3 experiments performed in triplicate.
