A Corrigendum on
Serum IgG antibodies from pregnant women reacting to mimotopes of Simian virus 40 large T antigen, the viral oncoprotein

by Mazzoni E, Di Stefano M, Fiore JR, Destro F, Manfrini M, Rotondo JC, Casali MV, Vesce F, Greco P, Scutiero G, Martini F and Tognon MG (2017) Front. Immunol. 8:411. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.00411

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 2 as published. Some technical problems may have occurred regarding the Figures 2C, D panels. There was an overlapping of two photographs taken at the same time, causing a partial duplication of the same field. The corrected Figure 2 and its caption appear below.

Figure 2

Figure 2 Inhibition of Simian virus 40 (SV40) cytopathic effect (CPE) in CV-1 infected cells by human immune sera. Inhibition of SV40 CPE in infected cells by human serum samples from pregnant women and non-pregnant women. Upper panel. (A) Negative control represented by uninfected CV-1 cells. (B) Positive control represented by the CPE induced by SV40 in CV-1 infected cells. (C, D) These sera did not inhibit SV40 CPE. (E–G) SV40-positive sera inhibited SV40 CPE with different degrees. (H) This serum sample completely inhibited SV40 CPE. Sample H had an optical density (OD) of 0.876 for the LT mimotopes. Bottom panel: there was a correlation between the OD values and CPE inhibition activity of tested immune sera. Indeed, serum samples C and D that were under the cutoff value did not inhibited SV40 CPE, while sera E, F, and G with an OD in the range of 0.193–0.643 inhibited partially with a different degree SV40 CPE. The serum in H panel, with the higher OD value, inhibited completely SV40 CPE.
