摘要: This unit describes methods for intravital imaging of monocytes in the vasculature dermis and mesentery vivo using fluorescent reporter mice, dyes, antibodies. Cx3cr1gfp/gfp (or +), Rag2−/−, Il2rg−/− mice expressing eGFP at locus Cx3cr1 gene, on Rag2−/− C57Bl/6 background, are used. Although aimed specifically tracking Ly6Clow monocytes, these protocols could readily be adapted to investigate interaction other blood leukocytes with vascular endothelium by use fluorescently labeled Curr.
