In the top half of Fig. 2⇓A, the authors inadvertently reproduced the same experiment depicted in a previous publication by their group. The data in that panel were controls for the data presented in Fig. 2⇓B, and the original source of these data (J. Exp. Med. 178:1041) was clearly referred to in the Results section. The time course indicated in Fig. 2⇓A refers to the p35 date (bottom half); the correct time course for the p40 data is 1, 4, 5, and 15 h.

There were errors in the length and restriction map of the region between exons II and III of the human MASP-1 gene in Fig. 3⇓A. The correct figure is shown below.

The figures representing the FACS data contain several inadvertent exchanges of FACS panels. A new figure (presented on the following page) was reconstructed from the original data. This figure demonstrates that the myoblasts derived from the original donor expressed BB-1, but not B7.1 or B7.2. Functional experiments (T cell proliferation tests) supported the FACS results. As most of the FACS experiments reported in the paper were based on myoblast lines from a single donor, we subsequently screened a large panel of human muscle-derived cell lines. In these experiments, only a minority of cultures inconstantly expressed BB-1, indicating phenotypic heterogeneity of myoblasts or a genetic polymorphism. In contrast, as shown in our paper and recently by another group (Murata, K., and M. C. Dalakas. 1999. Expression of the costimulatory molecule BB-1, the ligands CTLA-4 and CD28, and their mRNA in inflammatory myopathies. Am. J. Pathol. 155:453) most, if not all, muscle specimens from patients with inflammatory myopathy contain muscle fibers which express BB-1 in the absence of B7.1 and B7.2.

A breeding error was found in the colony of CXCR2-deficient mice. Mesangial cells derived from mice of this colony were used to generate the data presented in Table II and Fig. 8B. All other results were reported accurately.

Footnote 1 should read: “This work was supported by the Alberta Lung Association, the Medical Research Council of Canada (A.D.B.), the National Institutes of Health (Grants HL-27068 and AI/HL-22193 to A.D.S.), and a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Canadian Lung Association/Medical Research Council of Canada/Glaxo Wellcome (to G.R.S.).”
Selective induction of BB-1 on human myoblasts treated with IFN-γ and TNF-α for 72 h. Purity of the myoblasts is documented by NCAM expression (upper panel). The myoblasts uniformly express BB-1 but are negative for B7.1 and B7.2. Open curves represent appropriate isotype control.
Anti-CD47 Ab (mIAP301) inhibits the aggregation of Ba/F3 cells expressing WT SHPS-1 and ΔCT SHPS-1. Anti-CD47 or an isotype control Ab was added at 50 μg/ml to a volume of 200 μl that contained 1 × 106 Ba/F3 cells transfected with either vector alone, SHPS-1, or ΔCT SHPS-1. Photographs were taken after incubation for 16 h.
