The LAMMER Kinase, LkhA, Affects Aspergillus fumigatus Pathogenicity by Modulating Reproduction and Biosynthesis of Cell Wall PAMPs

In the original article, there was a mistake in **Figure 5A** as published. **DAPI should be changed to CFW in Figure 5A**. The corrected **Figure 5A** appears below.
Figure 5 Alveolar macrophage response to ΔAflkhA conidia. MH-S murine alveolar macrophages were challenged with a three-fold concentration of WT and ΔAflkhA conidia and then incubated for 4 hrs at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2. (A) Microscopic analysis of the uptake of the fungal conidia by MH-S macrophages. External conidia (black arrows) were stained by calcofluor white (1 mg/mL in DPBS). White arrows indicate conidia endocytosed by macrophage cells. (B) Phagocytosis of conidia. The percentage of macrophages containing more than one ingested conidia was counted (n = 18). (C) Phagocytosis index. The average number of indigested conidia per macrophage (c/m) was calculated (n = 40). Statistical analysis was performed using the student’s t-test. ***P < 0.001.
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.
