The cellular immune response to tissue damage and infectionrequires the recruitment of blood leukocytes. This process ismediated through a classical multistep mechanism, which involvestransient rolling on the endothelium and recognition of inflammationfollowed by extravasation. We have shown, by direct examinationof blood monocyte functions in vivo, that a subset of monocytespatrols healthy tissues through long-range crawling on the restingendothelium. This patrolling behavior depended on the integrinLFA-1 and the chemokine receptor CX3CR1 and was required forrapid tissue invasion at the site of an infection by this "resident"monocyte population, which initiated an early immune responseand differentiated into macrophages.
