We have studied the subcellular distribution of ferritin in inflammatory macrophages present in regional lymph nodes from dogs subjected to a pulmonary inflammatory reaction. The inflammatory reaction was induced by intrabronchial instillation of calcium tungstate (CaWO4), a water-insoluble powder. Ferritin
