Tissue distributions of 111In (III) in the rats bearing granuloma, inflammatory tissue induced by turpentine oil, were compared with those of 67Ga. The results showed that indium-111 resembles 67Ga in the manner of uptake by inflammatory and normal soft tissues. The effect of cold-InCl3 on 111In (III) uptake showed that transferrin is not involved in the uptake of 111In (III) into inflammatory tissues but is involved in the uptake into liver and spleen.
