A Corrigendum on:
Development of a Scrub Typhus Diagnostic Platform Incorporating Cell-Surface Display Technology

By Liao C-C, Tsai C-H, Lo H-R, Lin P-R, Lin C-C and Chao Y-C (2021). Front. Immunol. 12:761136. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.761136

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 6 as published. The title of Figure 6D should be “ScaC-PD” instead of “Kato”. The corrected Figure 6 appears below.

Figure 6 Cell-based ELISA detection of ST in serum samples obtained from field-caught or non-ST rats. Sixty-nine rat sera confirmed as having been infected with O. tsutsugamushi by IFA (Positive) and thirteen negative control rat sera (Negative) were subjected to cell-based ELISA using cells displaying Gilliam TSA56 (A), Karp TSA56 (B), Kato TSA56 (C), and ScaC-PD (D) antigens, and cells infected with wild-type baculovirus (E). Individual data points are shown and the solid line represents the mean value. Dotted line: cutoff value of 0.056 determined as the mean value of negative rat serum reactivities against each of the antigens plus two standard deviations. P-values determined by Welch’s t-test are displayed above the plots.

In the original article, there was an error in text. The term “His tag” should be “His-tag”.

A correction has been made to Discussion, paragraph 4:

“This outcome indicates that the His-tag may be inadequately exposed in the Gilliam TSA56 protein structure, so it is only partially recognized by anti-His antibody.”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
