Development of an intravital imaging system for the synovial tissue reveals the dynamics of CTLA-4 Ig in vivo

Abstract There have been many attempts to visualize the inflamed joints using multiphoton microscopy. However, due to the hypervascular and multilayered structure of the inflamed synovium, intravital imaging of the deep synovial tissue has been difficult. Here, we established original intravital ima...
