Relationship between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Plasmacytoid and Myeloid Dendritic Cells in Peripheral Blood and Gastric Mucosa of Children

Figure 3

Comparison of the distribution of circulating total myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells in H. pylori-infected and noninfected children with using individual raw data points. Scatter plots are showing differential percentages of total dendritic cells (tDCs), CD83⁺ tDCs and CD86⁺ tDCs (a), myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), CD83⁺ mDCs and CD86⁺ mDCs (b), and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), CD83⁺ pDCs and CD86⁺ pDCs (c), in H. pylori-infected children (Hp+: ) compared to noninfected children (Hp-: ). Data shown as individual raw data points, medians (horizontal line), and interquartile ranges (upper and lower whiskers). Statistically significant differences (Mann-Whitney test).
