Protocol for live imaging of transferred mouse bone marrow cells by two-photon microscopy.

ABSTRACT: The in situ behavior of living cells can be visualized by two-photon microscopy. Here, we present a protocol for the live imaging of transferred mouse bone marrow cells by two-photon microscopy. We describe steps for staining and injecting target cells into mice, fixing the skull bone to a head holder and stage, and 4D imaging bone marrow using multi-photon microscopy. We then detail procedures for creating images and analyzing cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Sudo et al. (2021).¹.
