Abstract Intravital imaging of the immune system is a powerful technique for studying biology of the immune response in the spinal cord using a variety of disease models ranging from traumatic injury to autoimmune disorders. Here, we will discuss specific technical aspects as well as many intriguing biological phenomena that have been revealed with the use of intravital imaging for investigation of the immune system in the spinal cord. We will discuss surgical techniques for exposing and stabilizing the spine that are critical for obtaining images, visualizing immune and CNS cells with genetically expressed fluorescent proteins, fluorescent labeling techniques and briefly discuss some of the challenges of image analysis.
