A Corrigendum on
Activation of M1 Macrophages in Response to Recombinant TB Vaccines With Enhanced Antimycobacterial Activity

By Shiu-Ju Yang, Yih-Yuan Chen, Chih-Hao Hsu, Chia-Wei Hsu, Chun-Yu Chang, Jia-Ru Chang, Horng-Yunn Dou (2020) Front. Immunol. 23 June 2020 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.01298

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 4G. When analyzing the original data, the authors mistakenly took raw data of the second image of 4G, which caused the third and second images to be duplicated. The corrected Figure 4 appears below.

Figure 4 Innate and adaptive immune cell profiles pulsed with tuberculosis-specific peptides from mice immunized with BCG, rBCG1, or rBCG2. C57BL/6 mice were immunized with BCG, rBCG1 or rBCG2 at weeks 0 and 2, and then challenged with H37Ra at week 4 (n = 6 to 7, in two independent experiments). At 2, 8, 12, and 20 weeks, the mice were sacrificed, and lungs were homogenized to single-cell suspensions. The cells were stimulated with tuberculosis-specific TB peptides (described in the Materials and Methods) for 68 h and then Golgi-stop for 4 h, stained for surface and intracellular markers, and then subjected to flow cytometry to determine the percentage of cytokine-producing cells within CD4+ T cells. (A) Percentage of macrophages (F4/80+ cells) in lung post-vaccination at week 8. (B) Percentage of macrophages (F4/80+ cells) in lung post-vaccination at weeks 2 to 20. (C) Percentage of IFN-γ+ cells in lung post-vaccination at week 12. (D) Percentage of IFN-γ+ cells in lung post-vaccination at weeks 2 to 20. (E) Percentage of IL-4+ cells in lung post-vaccination at week 12. (F) Percentage of IL-4+ cells in lung post-vaccination at weeks 2 to 20. (G) Percentage of IL-17+ T cells in lung post-vaccination at week 8. (H) Percentage of IL-17+ T cells in lung post-vaccination at weeks 2 to 20. Differences among groups were determined by one-way or two-way ANOVA with a Tukey or Bonferroni post hoc test (***P < .001).

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
