In the published article, there were errors in Figure 8 as published. The images of ELISPOT for PBS control treatment in Figure 8B, C and D were duplicated. The image of mdLN IgG ELISPOT in IMQ group (Figure 8B) was duplicated with spleen IgM in IMQ group (Figure 8A). The corrected Figure 8 and its caption appear below.
Figure 8 Antibody responses in spleen and mdLN. Mice received intraperitoneal administration of VCI (IMQ 50 µg + VP 10 µg), IMQ (50 µg) or VP (10 µg) or PBS for 3 days, and then were challenged with 10×LD50 of H1N1/415742Md virus. At 3 days after virus challenge, single cells were prepared from spleens and mdLNs. ELISPOT detection of total IgM, IgG, viral specific IgM and viral specific IgG. (A) Total IgM, IgG secreting cells from spleen; (B) Total IgM, IgG spots from mdLN. (C) Viral specific IgM, IgG secreting cells from spleen; (D) Viral specific IgM, IgG secreting cells from mdLN. Data presented are mean of three different experiments for each type of the antibody secreting cells. n = 3. †p < 0.05; ††p < 0.01; †††p < 0.001 (compared with PBS group). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (comparing between VCI group with other treatment group).
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.
