Technologies for in vivo imaging of the distribution and integration of cell transplants gain significance for the use of novel cell therapy approaches in regenerative medicine. Applied to adequate animal models, they provide information on the spatio-temporal engraftment and functional performance of the cells transplanted. This chapter includes a detailed description of the in vivo tracking of transplanted hepatocytes in rat liver including the conjugation of antibodies to fluorochromes for far red imaging using a multispectral optical imager.
