Standard labelling methods using 111In-tropolonate in plasma resulted in lower labelling efficiency (LE) with pig granulocytes than with human cells. Addition of acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) to cell-free plasma in a ratio of 1:10 tripled the LE to a value which was not significantly different from that obtained in saline. Under optimized conditions, LE was 67 +/- 2% (mean +/- SE) with pig granulocytes, which remained lower than that obtained with human cells but was adequate for nuclear imaging studies of granulocyte deposition in the pig.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007205	Indium Radioisotopes	Unstable isotopes of indium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. In atoms with atomic weights 106-112, 113m, 114, and 116-124 are radioactive indium isotopes.	Radioisotopes, Indium
D007553	Isotope Labeling	Techniques for labeling a substance with a stable or radioactive isotope. It is not used for articles involving labeled substances unless the methods of labeling are substantively discussed. Tracers that may be labeled include chemical substances, cells, or microorganisms.

D003508	Cycloheptanes	Seven-carbon cycloparaffin cycloheptane (the structural formula (CH2)7) and its derivatives.
D006098	Granulocytes	Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS.	Granulocyte
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).

D014334	Tropolone	A seven-membered aromatic ring compound. It is structurally related to a number of naturally occurring antifungal compounds (ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS).
