Is NIS safe to use?
Share
The gene itself is very safe to use, but keep in mind that the lentivectors containing the gene are rated Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2) and radiation training is generally required for researchers who will be conducting the 1-125 uptake assay using out NIS-IT kits. For those wanting to avoid using radiation in the laboratory, we do offer a NIS-YFP vector that allows for a non-radioactive uptake assay to analyze NIS function.
