In This Issue. 2014. J. Immunol. 192: 549.
An error was made in the summary titled “Age and Infection Influence Immunity.”
The first sentence in the summary should read: “Human humoral immunity decreases with age, enhancing the susceptibility of the elderly to viral pathogens, such as CMV and EBV.”
The penultimate sentence in this summary should read: “Regardless of an individual’s age, IGHV sequence analysis revealed that CMV seropositivity correlated with increased mutations in this gene region, and EBV seropositive patients exhibited increased persistent clonal B cell expansion compared with seronegative individuals.”
The online version has been changed to reflect this correction and, as such, differs from the print version.
