While the ontogeny and recruitment of the intestinal monocyte/macrophage lineage has been studied extensively, their precise localization and function has been overlooked. Here we show by imaging the murine small and large intestines in steady-state that intestinal CX3CR1+ macrophages form an interdigitated network intimately adherent to the entire mucosal lamina propria vasculature. The macrophages form contacts with each other, which are disrupted in the absence of microbiome, monocyte recruitment (Ccr2-/-), or monocyte conversio
