Abstract
Sustained labeling of fluids is crucial for their investigation in animal models. Here, we introduce a mouse line (Alb-mSc-ST), where blood and interstitial fluid are labeled with the red fluorescent protein mScarlet and SpyTag. The SpyTag-SpyCatcher technology is exploited to monitor circulating fluid properties by biosensors or detect blood-brain barrier disruption. This approach represents a valuable tool for studying vascular structure, permeability and microenvironment in body organs in vivo .
