We have developed a mouse system in which to track the migration and homing of cells in a setting of BMT-induced graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following systemic infusion using eGFP transgenic cells and a simple application of a fluorescence stereomicroscope outfitted with a color CCD camera. Whole body images of anesthetized mice taken at various time points after cell infusion revealed early migration of allogeneic cells to peripheral lymphoid organs with later infiltration of GVHD target organs. Localization of GFP Tg cells could be seen through the skin of shaved mice and internal organs were easily discernable. Following allogeneic or syngeneic GFP Tg cell infusion, representative mice were dissected to better-visualize deeper internal organs and tissues. Infusion of different cell populations revealed distinct homing patterns and this method also provided a simple way to identify the critical time points for expansion of the transplanted cells in various organs. This simple application of the fluorescence stereomicroscope will be valuable for GVHD and graft-versus-tumor studies in which visualization of cellular migration, expansion and cell-cell interactions will be more informative when analyzed by such an intravital method.
