所有涉及老鼠的动物程序都是按照瑞士联邦兽医局的指导方针和动物协议进行的, 当地兽医当局已经批准。
1. CD11c-YFP 小鼠的流感感染
<ol><li>安全性 注: Rico/8/34 甲型h1n1 流感 (PR8) 的老鼠适应菌株生长在受精卵, 纯化和滴定如前所述21。根据生物安全水平 (BSL) 2 条件, 在生物安全柜下进行了涉及受感染动物或生物样品的所有步骤。<ol>
<li>在感染程序前后用70% 乙醇溶液清洁生物安全柜。</li>
		<li>根据世卫组织生物安全准则 (http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/biosafety/Biosafety7.pdf), 丢弃在此过程中产生的所有废料。在装满70% 乙醇溶液或医用消毒剂的塑料袋中, 丢弃耐高压箱和污染液体中的固体废弃物。</li>
	</ol></li>
	<li>流感鼻腔感染 注: B6。本研究采用 C57BL/6J 背景的 Cg Tg (Itgax-金星) 1 mnz/J (CD11c-YFP)22 。在生物医学研究研究所, 小鼠被保存在特定的无病原体设施中。<ol>
<li>每笼最多可放置5岁及性别配对 (六至八周) CD11c-YFP 鼠。在感染程序之前, 至少要等待两天的时间, 让老鼠适应住房条件。</li>
		<li>解冻 PR8 的库存, 并准备相应的稀释使用冷 1x Dulbecco 的磷酸盐缓冲盐水改性不含氯化钙和氯化镁 (PBS), 以获得最终浓度的200斑块成型单位 (PFU) 在30µL. 保持病毒稀释在整个过程中的冰。 注: 建议在使用前对每批流感病毒进行滴定, 以确保准确的感染剂量。</li>
		<li>使用26克针1毫升注射器注射剂量氯胺酮 (100 毫克/千克) 和甲苯噻嗪 (10 毫克/千克) 腹腔 (ip)。</li>
		<li>等待, 直到鼠标完全麻醉 (完全丧失矫正和踏板撤退反射)。深层麻醉对最佳感染是必要的, 因为没有完全麻醉的小鼠会吞下或排出病毒接种, 导致感染剂量的变化。</li>
		<li>将麻醉鼠置于仰卧位。收集15µL 病毒接种。把吸管尖端靠近鼠标左鼻孔, 并免除病毒接种下降。因为必须吸入水滴, 不要直接在鼻腔内吸管。</li>
		<li>等待2–5分钟, 并放置在右鼻孔中含有其余15µL 病毒接种的吸管尖端。 注意: 为了避免窒息, 在大约二十年代的时间间隔内分配小尺寸滴。</li>
		<li>检查鼠标是否正确呼吸并将其放置在侧压卧笼中。监测小鼠呼吸和麻醉恢复 (诱导后约60分钟)。 注意: 同时感染1只老鼠是可能的。在这种情况下, 管理病毒接种在所有老鼠的左鼻孔序列, 等待2–5分钟, 然后管理病毒在右鼻孔。为了避免个体间的变异, 在同一时间感染不超过3只老鼠。</li>
		<li>每天监测动物健康状况和体重损失。</li>
		<li>弄死小鼠根据权威指南确定的人道端点。安乐死方法必须得到动物实验当局的批准, 并要尊重当地的道德规范。经过双光子实验, 弄死小鼠用药过量的氯胺酮/甲苯噻嗪后颈椎脱位。在所有其他实验中, 使用 CO2吸入作为安乐死的方法。 注: 为了测量受感染气管的病毒滴度, 50% 种组织培养感染剂量 (TCID50) 检测或实时聚合酶链反应 (rt-pcr) 检测可进行如前所述23。</li>
	</ol></li>
	<li>流式细胞术评价中性粒细胞在气管内的应用 注意: 协议的这一部分是可选的。目的评价在流感感染后气管黏膜中中性粒细胞的招募情况。<ol>
<li>弄死感染和未感染的控制小鼠在3天后感染 (私家侦探) 通过 CO2吸入。 注意: 为了防止气管损伤, 避免使用颈椎脱位弄死动物。此外, 预防安乐死小鼠的灌注是可取的, 以避免血液中性粒细胞的污染。</li>
		<li>用70% 乙醇溶液喷洒鼠标颈部, 用手术剪刀从胸部到下巴进行皮肤切口。</li>
		<li>用镊子将涎腺分开, 并暴露气管。</li>
		<li>用镊子和剪刀解剖气管周围的肌肉。 注意: 这一步必须小心执行, 因为气管在过程中很容易损坏。</li>
		<li>用钳夹住气管, 并通过解剖仔细分离食道。</li>
		<li>用镊子将气管的胸腔部分托住, 在支气管树的开始处进行切口。然后把气管从喉部分离出来, 然后小心地取出剩下的肌肉。</li>
		<li>将该器官放置在1.5 毫升管中, 其中含有 RPMI 1640 + HEPES 介质 (RPMI) 在冰上。</li>
		<li>制备用于气管消化的酶合剂, 在 RPMI 中含有0.26 单位/毫升胶原酶 (i 和 II) 和0.2 毫克/毫升的 DNase。</li>
		<li>将解剖气管放置在含有1毫升酶合剂的6井板中。</li>
		<li>在镊子和剪刀的帮助下, 把风琴切成小块。在这一步, 把盘子放在冰上。</li>
		<li>孵育37°c 45 分钟。在这段时间里, 每隔15分钟摇动盘子。</li>
		<li>在 PBS 中加入1毫升的 (2 毫米 EDTA 和2% 种热灭活过滤-灭菌胎牛血清), 停止酶消化。</li>
		<li>用1毫升的吸管并用重悬溶液, 帮助解除部分未消化的组织。</li>
		<li>通过40µm 过滤器传递内容, 将解决方案转移到另一个井中。然后, 用2毫升注射器活塞轻轻粉碎被困在滤网顶部的器官的其余部分。 注: 在过滤器上粉碎部分未消化的气管是在流动细胞分析中获得最佳细胞数的关键步骤。</li>
		<li>清洗井和过滤器与外地资产管制系统洗涤缓冲和转移悬浮在5毫升管保持在冰上。</li>
		<li>离心管在 166 x g 5 分钟在4摄氏度。丢弃上清液, 并用重悬100µL 的细胞。</li>
		<li>对流式细胞术进行抗体表面染色。简单地, 使用抗体对 CD16/32 的隔离细胞阻断 Fc 受体, 其次是表面染色。为了正确识别中性粒细胞, 流式细胞术小组应包含以下抗体: αLy6G, αCD11b, αCD45, 以及一种能排除死细胞的活性染料。</li>
		<li>在流式细胞仪上运行样本的全部内容并分析数据。<ol>
<li>为了获得最佳的免疫细胞数, 以不超过3000个事件的速度运行单细胞悬浮。这将减少在购置过程中排除的事件数。使用这个协议, 应该可以获得每气管1到200万的细胞。</li>
		</ol>
</li>
	</ol></li>
</ol>2. 中性粒细胞的分离和注射
注意: 在这个过程中, B6.129 (ECFP) 的 CK6Nagy 和 J 小鼠 (CK6-ECFP) 使用了24。这些动物表达 CFP 在所有细胞类型下的人β肌动蛋白启动子。另外, 也可以使用 C57BL/6J 小鼠隔离细胞并根据步骤2.6 中描述的协议对其进行染色。中性粒细胞的纯化和操作可能会增加其活化状态, 有可能改变它们的迁移和功能特性。
<ol><li>弄死动物由 CO2吸入。</li>
	<li>取出股骨和胫骨, 用镊子轻轻擦拭。</li>
	<li>切骨骨骺和冲洗骨髓使用1毫升注射器填充无菌冷 PBS, 在50毫升的管保持在冰上。</li>
	<li>用18克针并用重悬细胞, 用40微米滤网过滤细胞悬浮液。以 110 x g为5分钟, 在2毫升的冷 PBS 中, 用 PBS 在4摄氏度和并用重悬细胞上洗涤一次。</li>
	<li>
稀释 100% Percoll 9:1 在 10x pbs 和准备梯度解决方案的 Percoll 72%, 64% 和52% 使用 1x PBS。小心层2毫升的每一个三梯度在15毫升管, 从最集中的一个开始。
	<ol>
<li>仔细添加2毫升的骨髓细胞悬浮在梯度和离心机在 1100 x g 30 分钟室温 (RT) 没有加速度和刹车。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>小心地删除64% 和72% 之间的接口, 并在 200 x g清洗一次在4°c 与冷 PBS。并用重悬细胞在 100 ul 的 PBS, 并保持在冰上。中性粒细胞的纯度预计将高于90%。</li>
	<li>或者, 使用制造商的协议, 用细胞增殖套件标记中性粒细胞。将染料添加到细胞悬浮液中, 最终浓度为10微米, 体积为1毫升, 孵育37°c 30 分钟, 洗涤 (166 x g, 5 分钟)。</li>
	<li>用 hemocytometer 和静脉注射 5 x 106细胞, 在先前受感染的 CD11c-YFP+小鼠中使用26克针1毫升注射器, 在成像前, 用一根最大体积的 100 ul 来估计细胞浓度。</li>
</ol>3. 准备鼠标成像
<ol><li>
麻醉
	<ol>
<li>麻醉感染 CD11c-YFP+鼠3天的私家侦探根据步骤1.2.3。</li>
		<li>一旦老鼠被深深麻醉, 准备一导管麻醉再灌注。<ol>
<li>用镊子从注射器中取出30克针。</li>
			<li>将针插入20厘米 PE-10 医用硅管。</li>
			<li>在管的另一侧插入30克氯胺酮/甲苯噻嗪混合物填充的针头注射器。</li>
			<li>卸下管子内的空气。</li>
		</ol>
</li>
		<li>准备一个20克导管连接到一个管道从氧 insufflating 机, 以保持自动通风 (图 1Ai)。将其设置为130节拍每分钟 (b.p.m.) 的呼吸比率, 其潮汐体积为0.2 毫升, 使用100% 氧气供气。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>
准备手术用鼠标
	<ol>
<li>将鼠标放在特定的定制手术板上 (图 1Aii iii) 在加热板上, 或在手术期间设置在37摄氏度的加热手术台上。</li>
		<li>使用电动剃刀和脱毛霜 (图 1Bi) 剃去老鼠颈部的毛发。
</li>
		<li>将鼠标放在塑料鼠标位置的上方 (图 1Aii a), 使动物头部处于定位外 (图 1Bii), 以创建一个有利于气管插管的角度。</li>
		<li>用手术胶带固定前肢、爪子和尾巴, 用维生素 a 浓缩凝胶滋润老鼠眼睛, 并对鼠标颈部进行消毒 (图 1Bii)。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>
手术
	<ol>
<li>准备适当的蒸压物品, 即剪刀、显微外科剪刀和镊子。</li>
		<li>在颈部的长内侧轴上做一个小切口, 大约1厘米长, 在上胸部和穿过下颌下角的线之间的中间区域 (图 1Biii)。</li>
		<li>侧移皮肤斑块和涎腺, 并可视化气管, 由肌肉覆盖。然后, 用镊子仔细解剖气管肌肉 (图 1Biii)。</li>
		<li>用导管插管鼠标, 开始人工通气 (图 1Biv)。 注: 导管由外部塑料部分组成, 用于保护气管粘膜和内铁针。针的存在是延长和稳定气管和调节其博览会的理想解决方案。人工通气通过导管将保证正确的呼吸鼠标。</li>
		<li>立即启动人工通风监测鼠标呼吸。</li>
		<li>用手术钩 (图 1Bv) 连接到手术板上的特定杆上, 固定导管高度和方向 (图1Aii b)。将气管暴露在下巴的同一高度。</li>
		<li>用石油果冻将气管围起来, 用几滴预加热的 PBS 盖住, 保证适当的水合器官 (图 1Bvi)。</li>
		<li>在准备工作的顶端安装盖玻片。在这个步骤中, 将盖玻片粘附在金属支架上 (图 1Bvii), 这将被拧到 XYZ 翻译 (图 1A二 c)。调整 XYZ 翻译器, 将盖玻片放在手术准备的顶端。</li>
		<li>放置导管用于麻醉腹腔的管理 (图 1Bviii)。</li>
		<li>注射氯胺酮/甲苯噻嗪混合物的初始剂量的50% 每30分钟。 注: 从50% 至25% 的初始氯胺酮/甲苯噻嗪混合物中再加药是一种安全有效的替代品25。然而, 由于该协议是终端和严格的固定化的动物是需要在整个过程中, 使用更高的剂量, 以维持一个深的手术平面的麻醉。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
</ol>4.体内时间推移成像
注: 图像采集采用直立双光子显微镜, 配备两个 Ti: Sa 激光器, 温度控制孵化室, 25 x/NA 1.1 水浸泡目标。用于图像采集的光电倍增管 (PMT) 要么是混合探测器, 要么是高灵敏度 GaAsP。
<ol><li>将手术板与麻醉鼠标放在显微镜孵化室内 (在37–38°c 预热), 并在盖玻片上加一滴水。</li>
	<li>中心, 并发现重点在气管组织。</li>
	<li>
将扫描频率设置为800赫兹, 具有 520 x 520 像素, 视场为 440 x 440 微米2 , 直线平均值1。
	<ol>
<li>调谐 Ti: Sa 激光到 830 nm 激发第二次谐波产生 (SHG) 从胶原蛋白, 与指示力在源150兆瓦。调整第二 Ti: Sa 激光在920毫微米与94兆瓦在来源, 刺激 CFP 和 YFP。</li>
		<li>同时励磁3D 和 timelapse 采集模式的建立 注意: 保持激光功率尽可能低, 以最小化漂白和毒性。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>记录荧光使用两个通道在非 descanned 模式, 与主分色镜在 560 nm。在本协议中使用的设置中, 第二个分色镜将信号分割为 495 nm, 将通道 1 (发射过滤器 475/50) 与通道 2 (发射过滤器 525/50) 分开 (图 2A)。该配置从第一通道中的胶原蛋白收集 SHG 光, 而在通道1和2中收集 CFP 发射, 而 YFP 仅在2通道中收集。</li>
	<li>沿 Z 轴定义一个范围50微米, 其步长为3微米 (体素尺寸0.86 微米 x 3 微米)。每年三十年代记录图像的总持续时间为30分钟。</li>
	<li>如果需要, 则获取多个区域。在运行更多的收购, 检查生命体征和注入麻醉通过导管, 如果需要 (见步骤 3.3.10)。</li>
	<li>在成像过程结束时, 弄死小鼠通过氯胺酮/甲苯噻嗪过量后颈椎脱位。</li>
</ol>5. 中性粒细胞-DC 运动和相互作用的图像处理和定量分析
注: 在本协议中, 使用专门的成像软件对显微数据进行分析。
<ol><li>完成4D 图像采集后, 将文件 (数据和元数据) 传输到具有足够计算资源的工作站 (建议的最低系统要求:32 GB RAM、快速固态驱动器、最近的 CPU、专用 GPU 基于大规模并行体系结构)。</li>
	<li>打开图像软件中的文件。</li>
	<li>播放视频并确保感兴趣的单元格清晰可见, 并且不存在图像工件。 注: 为此, 验证样品的运动和亮度变化是否有足够的限制。事实上, 这些都代表了自动分析26的挑战。如果相邻帧之间的样本移动过大, 则应用漂移校正方法, 例如, 将 SHG 通道用作固定参照。这样可以更好地测量细胞的运动, 而不是样本的运动。此外, 在明亮的背景或碎片的存在, 修剪重建的表面使用体积作为选择参数。</li>
	<li>为 CFP+细胞生成一个联合定位通道, 以便在 CFP 和胶原蛋白 (SHG) 之间分离信号。为此, 表示一个浇口多边形 (图 2Bi), 它只选择在绿色通道和蓝色通道中具有正强度的素。 注意: 这个过程可能会因显微镜的过滤器集和细胞的染色而异。它可以通过选择只有在绿色和蓝色通道中具有足够强度的素来实现。在可用的工具中, "coloc" 功能可用于自动计算基于强度阈值的定位信道。此外, 基于机器学习的方法可用于这一步骤与专家27的监督。</li>
	<li>检测和跟踪 CFP+单元格, 使用自动曲面重建和跟踪 (表面工具) 在适当的共定位通道。 注意: 可能需要手动精选最终跟踪错误和排除跟踪时间短于定义的阈值 (即150s)。</li>
	<li>为 CD11c-YFP+单元格生成一个联合定位通道, 以便分离 CFP 和 YFP 信号。为此, 表示一个浇口多边形 (图 2Bii), 它只选择在绿色通道中具有正强度的素, 而蓝色通道中的强度较低。 注: 代表性显微照片显示1通道、通道2、CFP 的共用定位通道、YFP 的共用定位通道以及所有通道的组合, 可在图 2Biii中找到。</li>
	<li>重建 CD11c-YFP+单元格的表面, 并跟踪它们的位置 (曲面工具)。 注意: 此步骤不需要手动更正最终跟踪错误。事实上, 由于 DC 的复杂时空动力学, 从 2 p-病媒数据中重建其精确表面是一项具有挑战性的任务, 可用的分割软件无法实现。在使这项任务具有挑战性的原因中, 薄突起和亮度变化不允许使用某些图像处理技术, 如平滑滤镜或静态阈值。此外, 在 DC 的网络中, 很难将单个细胞仅基于其在 2 p 病媒数据中的出现而分离。由于这些原因, 我们建议重建直流非精确曲面, 而不是通过调整软件参数来进行精确的分割。然后, 通过稳健的指标处理可能的错误, 如5.8 所述。</li>
	<li>
测量单元格迁移。
	<ol>
<li>导出 CFP+和 CD11c-YFP+单元格的经典迁移措施。其中, "轨道速度" 表示细胞的平均迁徙速度, 而 "轨道直线度" 则表示细胞的方向性。这些度量值可以从映像软件导出为电子表格文件。</li>
		<li>在导出的电子表格文件中, 计算 CFP+和 CD11c-YFP+单元格的 "校正轨道直线度" (也称为修正约束比率), 定义为 "轨道直线度" 乘以平方根"跟踪持续时间" 除以视频持续时间的平方根。这一措施比 "轨道直线性" 在短轨道28的存在更健壮, 起源于例如从跟踪错误。 注意: 只有相同长度的视频可以与此度量值进行比较。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>
测量细胞的相互作用。
	<ol>
<li>如果 CFP+单元格和 CD11c-YFP+单元格之间的距离 (最近的素) 小于或等于阈值 (即2 微米), 则定义一个联系人。 注意: 此阈值应足够严格, 以便仅在单元格接近时检测到联系人。然而, 我们鼓励保持这个阈值大于 0, 理想的 n 乘以体素半径 (n > 2), 因为边界平滑可以使细胞重建小于实际的细胞大小。</li>
		<li>计算 CFP+和 CD11c-YFP+单元格之间的联系人的数量和持续时间。在成像软件中, 这可以通过执行 "接吻和运行" 插件来完成。这些度量值可以从 "统计" 选项卡导出为电子表格文件。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>在统计软件中导入以前计算过的度量值, 生成绘图并执行统计测试。</li>
</ol>

双光子活体显微术 (2 p-病媒) 是一种有效的技术, 实时成像细胞间的相互作用, 因为它们发生在他们的自然环境1。这种方法的一个主要优点是, 它允许在更大的试样深度 (500 µm 到1毫米) 的细胞过程研究与其他传统成像技术2相比。同时, 两光子激光器产生的两个低能光子的使用最大限度地减少了通常与图像采集过程2相关的组织光损伤。在过去的十年中, 2 p-病媒应用于研究不同类型的细胞相互作用的几个学科3,4,5。这些研究特别相关的免疫细胞, 其特点是其高活力和形成明显的接触后, 其他细胞和环境产生的信号。2对病原体与宿主6之间的相互作用也进行了研究。事实上, 以前已经表明, 一些病原体可以改变免疫细胞之间接触的类型和持续时间, 从而妨碍免疫应答7。

Long-term High-Resolution Intravital Microscopy in the Lung with a Vacuum Stabilized Imaging Window

Metastasis to secondary sites such as the lung, liver and bone is a traumatic event with a mortality rate of approximately 90% 1. Of these sites, the lung is the most difficult to assess using intravital optical imaging due to its enclosed position within the body, delicate nature and vital role in sustaining proper physiology. While clinical modalities (positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT)) are capable of providing noninvasive images of this tissue, they lack the resolution necessary to visualize the earliest seeding events, with a single pixel consisting of nearly a thousand cells. Current models of metastatic lung seeding postulate that events just after a tumor cell&#39;s arrival are deterministic for survival and subsequent growth. This means that real-time intravital imaging tools with single cell resolution 2 are required in order to define the phenotypes of the seeding cells and test these models. While high resolution optical imaging of the lung has been performed using various ex vivo preparations, these experiments are typically single time-point assays and are susceptible to artifacts and possible erroneous conclusions due to the dramatically altered environment (temperature, profusion, cytokines, etc.) resulting from removal from the chest cavity and circulatory system 3. Recent work has shown that time-lapse intravital optical imaging of the intact lung is possible using a vacuum stabilized imaging window 2,4,5 however, typical imaging times have been limited to approximately 6 hr. Here we describe a protocol for performing long-term intravital time-lapse imaging of the lung utilizing such a window over a period of 12 hr. The time-lapse image sequences obtained using this method enable visualization and quantitation of cell-cell interactions, membrane dynamics and vascular perfusion in the lung. We further describe an image processing technique that gives an unprecedentedly clear view of the lung microvasculature.

This protocol describes the use of multiphoton microscopy to perform long-term high-resolution, single cell imaging of the intact lung in real time using a vacuum stabilized imaging window.

A Thin-skull Window Technique for Chronic Two-photon In vivo Imaging of Murine Microglia in Models of Neuroinflammation

Traditionally in neuroscience, in vivo two photon imaging of the murine central nervous system has either involved the use of open-skull1,2 or thinned-skull 3 preparations. While the open-skull technique is very versatile, it is not optimal for studying microglia because it is invasive and can cause microglial activation. Even though the thinned-skull approach is minimally invasive, the repeated re-thinning of skull required for chronic imaging increases the risks of tissue injury and microglial activation and allows for a limited number of imaging sessions. Here we present a chronic thin-skull window method for monitoring murine microglia in vivo over an extended period of time using two-photon microscopy. We demonstrate how to prepare a stable, accessible, thinned-skull cortical window (TSCW) with an apposed glass coverslip that remains translucent over the course of three weeks of intermittent observation. This TSCW preparation is far more immunologically inert with respect to microglial activation than open craniotomy or repeated skull thinning and allows an arbitrary number of imaging sessions during a time period of weeks. We prepare TSCW in CX3CR1 GFP/+ mice 4 to visualize microglia with enhanced green fluorescent protein to &le;150 &mu;m beneath the pial surface. We also show that this preparation can be used in conjunction with stereotactic brain injections of the HIV-1 neurotoxic protein Tat, adjacent to the TSCW, which is capable of inducing durable microgliosis. Therefore, this method is extremely useful for examining changes in microglial morphology and motility over time in the living brain in models of HIV Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND) and other neurodegenerative diseases with a neuroinflammatory component.

Using Bioluminescent Imaging to Investigate Synergism Between Streptococcus pneumoniae and Influenza A Virus in Infant Mice

During the 1918 influenza virus pandemic, which killed approximately 50 million people worldwide, the majority of fatalities were not the result of infection with influenza virus alone. Instead, most individuals are thought to have succumbed to a secondary bacterial infection, predominately caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus). The synergistic relationship between infections caused by influenza virus and the pneumococcus has subsequently been observed during the 1957 Asian influenza virus pandemic, as well as during seasonal outbreaks of the virus (reviewed in 1, 2). Here, we describe a protocol used to investigate the mechanism(s) that may be involved in increased morbidity as a result of concurrent influenza A virus and S. pneumoniae infection. We have developed an infant murine model to reliably and reproducibly demonstrate the effects of influenza virus infection of mice colonised with S. pneumoniae. Using this protocol, we have provided the first insight into the kinetics of pneumococcal transmission between co-housed, neonatal mice using in vivo imaging 3.

Direct Observation of Phagocytosis and NET-formation by Neutrophils in Infected Lungs using 2-photon Microscopy

After the gastrointestinal tract, the lung is the second largest surface for interaction between the vertebrate body and the 
environment. Here, an effective gas exchange must be maintained, while at the same time avoiding infection by the multiple pathogens that are inhaled 
during normal breathing. To achieve this, a superb set of defense strategies combining humoral and cellular immune mechanisms exists. One of the most 
effective measures for acute defense of the lung is the recruitment of neutrophils, which either phagocytose the inhaled pathogens or kill them by 
releasing cytotoxic chemicals. A recent addition to the arsenal of neutrophils is their explosive release of extracellular DNA-NETs by which bacteria 
or fungi can be caught or inactivated even after the NET releasing cells have died. We present here a method that allows one to directly observe neutrophils, 
migrating within a recently infected lung, phagocytosing fungal pathogens as well as visualize the extensive NETs that they have produced throughout the 
infected tissue. The method describes the preparation of thick viable lung slices 7 hours after intratracheal infection of mice with conidia of the mold 
Aspergillus fumigatus and their examination by multicolor time-lapse 2-photon microscopy. This approach allows one to directly investigate antifungal 
defense in native lung tissue and thus opens a new avenue for the detailed investigation of pulmonary immunity.

We show, how to use 2-photon microscopy for the observation of the dynamics of neutrophil granulocytes in infected lungs while they phagocytose pathogens or produce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).

Intravital Imaging of the Mouse Thymus using 2-Photon Microscopy

Two-photon Microscopy (TPM) provides image acquisition in deep areas inside tissues and organs. In combination with the development of new stereotactic tools and surgical procedures, TPM becomes a powerful technique to identify "niches" inside organs and to document cellular "behaviors" in live animals. While intravital imaging provides information that best resembles the real cellular behavior inside the organ, it is both more laborious and technically demanding in terms of required equipment/procedures than alternative ex vivo imaging acquisition. Thus, we describe a surgical procedure and novel "stereotactic" organ holder that allows us to follow the movements of Foxp3+ cells within the thymus.
Foxp3 is the master regulator for the generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Moreover, these cells can be classified according to their origin: ie. thymus-differentiated Tregs are called "naturally-occurring Tregs" (nTregs), as opposed to peripherally-converted Tregs (pTregs). Although significant amount of research has been reported in the literature concerning the phenotype and physiology of these T cells, very little is known about their in vivo interactions with other cells. This deficiency may be due to the absence of techniques that would permit such observations. The protocol described in this paper provides a remedy for this situation.
Our protocol consists of using nude mice that lack an endogenous thymus since they have a punctual mutation in the DNA sequence that compromises the differentiation of some epithelial cells, including thymic epithelial cells. Nude mice were gamma-irradiated and reconstituted with bone marrows (BM) from Foxp3-KIgfp/gfp mice. After BM recovery (6 weeks), each animal received embryonic thymus transplantation inside the kidney capsule. After thymus acceptance (6 weeks), the animals were anesthetized; the kidney containing the transplanted thymus was exposed, fixed in our organ holder, and kept under physiological conditions for in vivo imaging by TPM. We have been using this approach to study the influence of drugs in the generation of regulatory T cells.

We have developed novel laboratory tools and protocols for intravital imaging acquisition of the thymus. Our technique should help in the identification of &#x201C;niches&#x201D; within the thymus where T cell development occurs.

Long-term Intravital Immunofluorescence Imaging of Tissue Matrix Components with Epifluorescence and Two-photon Microscopy

Besides being a physical scaffold to maintain tissue morphology, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is actively involved in regulating cell and tissue function during development and organ homeostasis. It does so by acting via biochemical, biomechanical, and biophysical signaling pathways, such as through the release of bioactive ECM protein fragments, regulating tissue tension, and providing pathways for cell migration. The extracellular matrix of the tumor microenvironment undergoes substantial remodeling, characterized by the degradation, deposition and organization of fibrillar and non-fibrillar matrix proteins. Stromal stiffening of the tumor microenvironment can promote tumor growth and invasion, and cause remodeling of blood and lymphatic vessels. Live imaging of matrix proteins, however, to this point is limited to fibrillar collagens that can be detected by second harmonic generation using multi-photon microscopy, leaving the majority of matrix components largely invisible. Here we describe procedures for tumor inoculation in the thin dorsal ear skin, immunolabeling of extracellular matrix proteins and intravital imaging of the exposed tissue in live mice using epifluorescence and two-photon microscopy. Our intravital imaging method allows for the direct detection of both fibrillar and non-fibrillar matrix proteins in the context of a growing dermal tumor. We show examples of vessel remodeling caused by local matrix contraction. We also found that fibrillar matrix of the tumor detected with the second harmonic generation is spatially distinct from newly deposited matrix components such as tenascin C. We also showed long-term (12 hours) imaging of T-cell interaction with tumor cells and tumor cells migration along the collagen IV of basement membrane. Taken together, this method uniquely allows for the simultaneous detection of tumor cells, their physical microenvironment and the endogenous tissue immune response over time, which may provide important insights into the mechanisms underlying tumor progression and ultimate success or resistance to therapy.

The extracellular matrix undergoes substantial remodeling during wound healing, inflammation and tumorigenesis. We present a novel intravital immunofluorescence microscopy approach to visualize the dynamics of fibrillar as well as mesh-like matrix components with high spatial and temporal resolution using epifluorescence or two-photon microscopy.

Intravital Imaging of Intraepithelial Lymphocytes in Murine Small Intestine

Intraepithelial lymphocytes expressing &#947;&#948; T cell receptor (&#947;&#948; IEL) play a key role in immune surveillance of the intestinal epithelium. Due in part to the lack of a definitive ligand for the &#947;&#948; T cell receptor, our understanding of the regulation of &#947;&#948; IEL activation and their function in vivo remains limited. This necessitates the development of alternative strategies to interrogate signaling pathways involved in regulating &#947;&#948; IEL function and the responsiveness of these cells to the local microenvironment. Although &#947;&#948; IELs are widely understood to limit pathogen translocation, the use of intravital imaging has been critical to understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of IEL/epithelial interactions at steady-state and in response to invasive pathogens. Herein, we present a protocol for visualizing IEL migratory behavior in the small intestinal mucosa of a GFP &#947;&#948; T cell reporter mouse using inverted spinning disk confocal laser microscopy. Although the maximum imaging depth of this approach is limited relative to the use of two-photon laser-scanning microscopy, spinning disk confocal laser microscopy provides the advantage of high speed image acquisition with reduced photobleaching and photodamage. Using 4D image analysis software, T cell surveillance behavior and their interactions with neighboring cells can be analyzed following experimental manipulation to provide additional insight into IEL activation and function within the intestinal mucosa.

We describe a method to visualize GFP-labeled &#947;&#948; IELs using intravital imaging of murine small intestine by inverted spinning disk confocal microscopy. This technique enables the tracking of live cells within the mucosa for up to 4 h and can be used to investigate a variety of intestinal immune-epithelial interactions. &#160;

Advanced Imaging of Lung Homing Human Lymphocytes in an Experimental In Vivo Model of Allergic Inflammation Based on Light-sheet Microscopy

Overwhelming tissue accumulation of highly activated immune cells represents a hallmark of various chronic inflammatory diseases and emerged as an attractive therapeutic target in the clinical management of affected patients. In order to further optimize strategies aiming at therapeutic regulation of pathologically imbalanced tissue infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells, it will be of particular importance to achieve improved insights into disease- and organ-specific homing properties of peripheral lymphocytes. The here described experimental protocol allows to monitor lung accumulation of fluorescently labeled and adoptively transferred human lymphocytes in the context of papain-induced pulmonary inflammation. In contrast to standard in vitro assays frequently used for the analysis of immune cell migration and chemotaxis, the now introduced in vivo setting takes into account lung-specific aspects of tissue organization and the influence of the complex inflammatory scenario taking place in the living murine organism. Moreover, three-dimensional cross-sectional light-sheet fluorescence microscopic imaging does not only provide quantitative data on infiltrating immune cells, but also depicts the pattern of immune cell localization within the inflamed lung. Overall, we are able to introduce an innovative technique of high value for immunological research in the field of chronic inflammatory lung diseases, which can be easily applied by following the provided step-by-step protocol.

The here introduced protocol allows characterization of the lung homing capacity of primary human lymphocytes under in vivo inflammatory conditions. Pulmonary infiltration of adoptively transferred human immune cells in a mouse model of allergic inflammation can be imaged and quantified by light-sheet fluorescence microscopy of chemically cleared lung tissue.

Intravital Widefield Fluorescence Microscopy of Pulmonary Microcirculation in Experimental Acute Lung Injury Using a Vacuum-Stabilized Imaging System

Intravital imaging of leukocyte-endothelial interactions offers valuable insights into immune-mediated disease in live animals. The study of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other respiratory pathologies in vivo is difficult due to the limited accessibility and inherent motion artifacts of the lungs. Nonetheless, various approaches have been developed to overcome these challenges. This protocol describes a method for intravital fluorescence microscopy to study real-time leukocyte-endothelial interactions in the pulmonary microcirculation in an experimental model of ALI. An in vivo lung imaging system and 3-D printed intravital microscopy platform are used to secure the anesthetized mouse and stabilize the lung while minimizing confounding lung injury. Following preparation, widefield fluorescence microscopy is used to study leukocyte adhesion, leukocyte rolling, and capillary function. While the protocol presented here focuses on imaging in an acute model of inflammatory lung disease, it may also be adapted to study other pathological and physiological processes in the lung.

Intravital fluorescence microscopy can be utilized to study leukocyte-endothelial interactions and capillary perfusion in real-time. This protocol describes methods to image and quantify these parameters in the pulmonary microcirculation using a vacuum-stabilized lung imaging system.

Efficient Method for Imaging Murine Lungs that Preserves Spatial Dynamics of Fungal Spores in the Airways

Fungi infect humans when environmental spores are inhaled into the lungs. The lung is a heterogeneous organ. Conducting airways, including bronchi and bronchioles, branch until terminating in the alveolar airspace where gas exchange occurs. Infections originating in the bronchioles or alveoli elicit distinct host responses and disease manifestations. Therefore, understanding precisely where spores naturally localize in the lungs, particularly soon after infection, expands opportunities for investigation of host-pathogen interactions. Herein, we detail an in-situ analysis of lungs from mice infected with Coccidioides posadasii cts2/ard1/cts3&#916; arthroconidia. Conventional methods for histological preservation involve liquid inflation of the airways with a fixative solution, which displaces the natural location of aspirated fungal particles, pushing spores from proximal bronchioles to terminal airspaces.
Conversely, this method of air-inflation with blood vasculature perfusion-fixation preserves the physiologic position of fungal spores within the bronchioles. Moreover, we describe a simple approach to cryopreserving, embedding, and imaging lung specimens. We also share high-throughput computational techniques via the open-source QuPath program to analyze the spatial distribution of fungal spores within the lung. The method presented here is simple and quick, requires minimal equipment to perform, and can be easily adapted for use with many respiratory fungal infection models.
