Purpose   To investigate the frequency and activation status of peripheral plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and myeloid DCs (mDCs) as well as gastric mucosa DC subset distribution in  Helicobacter pylori - ( H. pylori -) infected and noninfected children.Materials and Methods   Thirty-six children were studied; twenty-one had  H. pylori . The frequencies of circulating pDCs (lineage − HLA-DR + CD123 + ) and mDCs (lineage − HLA-DR + CD11c + ) and their activation status (CD83, CD86, and HLA-DR expression) were assessed by flow cytometry. Additionally, the densities of CD11c + , CD123 + , CD83 + , CD86 + , and LAMP3 +  cells in the gastric mucosa were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results   The frequency of circulating CD83 +  mDCs was higher in  H. pylori -infected children than in the noninfected controls. The pDCs demonstrated upregulated HLA-DR surface expression, but no change in CD86 expression. Additionally, the densities of gastric lamina propria CD11c +  cells and epithelial pDCs were increased. There was a significant association between frequency of circulating CD83 +  mDCs and gastric lamina propria mDC infiltration.Conclusion   This study shows that although  H. pylori -infected children had an increased population of mature mDCs bearing CD83 in the peripheral blood, they lack mature CD83 +  mDCs in the gastric mucosa, which may promote tolerance to local antigens rather than immunity. In addition, this may reduce excessive inflammatory activity as reported for children compared to adults.
