Abstract Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) is critical for lymphocyte recirculation
and is a clinical target for treatment of multiple sclerosis. By generating a short-duration
S1P1 agonist and mice in which fluorescently tagged S1P1 replaces wild-type receptor, we
elucidate physiological and agonist-perturbed changes in expression of S1P1 at a
subcellular level in vivo. We demonstrate differential downregulation of S1P1 on
lymphocytes and endothelia after agonist treatment.
