Abstrakt: Analyzing the dynamics of mitochondrial content in developing T cells is crucial for understanding the metabolic state during T cell development. However, monitoring mitochondrial content in real-time needs a balance of cell viability and image resolution. In this chapter, we present experimental protocols for measuring mitochondrial content in developing T cells using three modalities: bulk analysis via flow cytometry, volumetric imaging in laser scanning confocal microscopy, and dynamic live-cell monitoring in spinning disc confocal microscopy. Next, we provide an image segmentation and centroid tracking-based analysis pipeline for automated quantification of a large number of microscopy images. These protocols together offer comprehensive approaches to investigate mitochondrial dynamics in developing T cells, enabling a deeper understanding of their metabolic processes.
