Abstract
Here, we provide an optimized protocol to observe the interactions between infiltrating immune cells and islet β cells using live imaging. This protocol is useful for the characterization of cell-cell interactions and for the direct visualization of immune cell migration to the principal pancreatic islet during islet inflammation. We describe the preparation of zebrafish transgenic lines and detail steps for setting up the fish for live confocal imaging. For more details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yang et al. (2022).1.
