The assembly of cilia and eukaryotic flagella (interchangeable terms) requires the import of numerous proteins from the cell body into the growing organelle. Proteins move into and inside cilia by diffusion and by motor-based intraflagellar transport (IFT). Many aspects of ciliary protein transport such as the distribution of unloading sites and the frequency of transport can be analyzed using direct in vivo imaging of fluorescently tagged proteins. Here, we will describe how to use total internal reflection fluorescence microcopy (TIRFM) to analyze protein transport in flagella using in the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a widely used model for cilia and cilia-related disease.
