AbstractMutations in Leucine-Rich Repeat protein Kinase 2 (LRRK2) are associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Crohn's Disease (CD), but the regulation of LRRK2 during inflammation remains relatively unexplored. Here we developed a flow cytometry-based assay to assess LRRK2 activity in individual cells and created EGFP-LRRK2-knock-in reporter mouse to analyse cell-specific LRRK2 expression. Using these tools, we catalogued LRRK2 level and activity in splenic and intestinal tissues.
