Correction: Quantifying Antigen-Specific CD4 T Cells during a Viral Infection: CD4 T Cell Responses Are Larger Than We Think

McDermott, D. S. and S. M. Varga. 2011. Quantifying antigen-specific CD4 T cells during a viral infection: CD4 T cell responses are larger than we think. J. Immunol. 187: 5568–5576.

In the legend for Fig. 5, the sentence “Representative plots depict IFN-γ production between CD11a^loCD49d⁻ (top panels) and CD11a^hiCD49d⁺ (bottom panels) CD4 T cells (CD4⁺CD90.2⁺)” should read “Representative plots depict IFN-γ production between CD11a^hiCD49d⁺ (top panels) and CD11a^loCD49d⁻ (bottom panels) CD4 T cells (CD4⁺CD90.2⁺).”

Additionally, in Fig. 7, the y-axis was labeled incorrectly. The correct y-axis label is “% CD11a^hiCD49d⁺ of CD4 T cells in PBL”. The corrected figure is shown on the previous page. The figure legend was correct as published and is shown on the previous page for reference. Fig. 7 and the legend for Fig. 5 have been corrected in the online version of the article, which now differs from the print version as originally published.

FIGURE 7.

Tracking the kinetics and magnitude of the total LCMV-specific CD4 T cell response following infection. C57BL/6, BALB/c and Swiss Webster mice were infected i.p. with LCMV, and PBLs were obtained at 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 35, and 60 d postinfection. The percentage of CD11a^hiCD49d⁺ CD4 T cells (CD4⁺CD90.2⁺) was examined in C57BL/6 (A), BALB/c (B), and Swiss Webster mice (C). Combined results are shown from two independent experiments with 17–18 mice per group.
