Monocytes/macrophages (Mos), the predominant cell types in subacute and chronic inflammation, are attracted to and activated by monocyte chemotactic peptide-1 (MCP-1). Mos promote the resolution of inflammation through the induction of apoptosis and phagocytosis of senescent (spent) and bystander (superfluous) granulocytes. We wished to determine whether MCP-1, which selectively binds to Mos, could be used to image subacute and chronic inflammation. We also sought to image granulocyte apoptosis within these lesions with technetium-99m labeled annexin V, a marker of apoptotic cells. Sterile inflammation was induced in 45 12-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats by deep intramuscular injection of turpentine into the right thigh. Groups of four to six animals were then imaged I h after tail vein injection of 37-148 MBq (1-4 mCi) of Tc-99m-labeled MCP-I or annexin V 1-14 days after turpentine treatment. Image analysis showed significantly greater activity of both MCP-I and annexin V in inflamed thighs than in control thighs (165%-290% and 188%-313%, respectively; P
