This paper contains inaccurate interpretations of data due to an inadvertent and unexpected selection of contaminating cells from the bulk of other cells in culture. This work was conducted with U937 cells purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) (CRL1593, batch F-10132). After publication of this paper the authors became aware of the announcement made by ATCC that certain batches of U937 cells released to the scientific community were contaminated with K562 cells by <1%. The authors concluded that among three types of transfectants studied in the paper, those with DBD, the dominant negative construct of ICSBP, are of the K562 genotype. Other transfectants, namely those with pexn and full-length ICSBP also described in the paper, are of the U937 genotype. Based on a more recent study with other constructs, it is likely that transfection of DBD favored the selection of K562 cells. However, the constructs and Abs used in this study and results with pexn and the full-length ICSBP remain valid.

Footnote number two credits the first three authors with contributing equally to this work. The footnote should have credited only the first two authors with contributing equally to this work.

In the original article, a comma was inserted after the name R. William giving the impression of two separate authors. The first author’s name should have appeared as R. William G. Watson.

In Table IV⇓, the amino acid sequences and peptide denominations are incorrect. Below is a corrected version of the table. The binding and immunogenicity data included in the table are correct. The remainder of the paper is also accurate. The only modification to the text would be to substitute the reference to peptide hemagglutinin 458 with hemagglutinin 450, mentioned twice in the Results and once in the Discussion.

In the original article, the legend for Fig. 2 is incorrect. The sentence should have appeared as “Closed squares, chemotactic activity in response to 100 μM of BK. Open squares, chemotactic activity from supernatant fluids without BK.” In addition, the legends for Figs. 3 and 4 should be exchanged.
In the original article, there was also an error in the section titled “Partial purification of the released chemotactic activity” in the Results. The second sentence in the first paragraph should have appeared as “NCA was partially sensitive to heat and almost completely extractable in ethyl acetate.”

Two of the autoradiographs shown in Fig. 6A are incorrectly labeled. The first lane of Expt. 2 (24 h) and Expt. 3 (24 h) represent immunoprecipitates from unstimulated macrophages (which are negative for iNOS protein) and therefore should be labeled with a “−” instead of a “+” in the IFN-γ/LPS row.

MCP-1 primers, probes, and RNA transcripts were incorrectly referenced. The MCP-1 primers, probes, and RNA transcripts should have read as murine MCP-5.
