To study T cell activation in vivo in real time, we introduced a newly developed fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based, genetically encoded calcium indicator into autoantigen-specific and non-autoantigen-specific CD4(+) T cells. Using two-photon microscopy, we explored the responses of retrovirally transduced calcium indicator-expressing T cells to antigen in the lymph nodes and the central nervous system. In lymph nodes, the administration of exogenous antigen caused an almost immediate arrest of T cells around antigen-presenting cells and an instant rise of cytosolic calcium. In contrast, encephalitogenic T cells entering the leptomeningeal space, one main portal into the central nervous system parenchyma during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, showed elevated intracellular calcium concentrations while still meandering through the space. This approach enabled us to follow the migration and activation patterns of T cells in vivo during the course of the disease.
