Erratum to: Chronic alcohol consumption enhances myeloid-derived suppressor cells in B16BL6 melanoma-bearing mice

Erratum to: Cancer Immunol Immunother DOI 10.1007/s00262-010-0837-x

Unfortunately, Figs. 1 and 4 have some errors in the original publication. The symbols in Fig. 1c should read: Circle water-drinking mice. Square alcohol-consuming mice. For Fig. 4 the dot blot for Fig. 4a should be transposed with the dot blot in Fig. 4b.

The correct versions of figures are given below.

Fig. 1.

 Effects of chronic alcohol consumption on CD44^hiCD8⁺ T cells. a Dot plot showing the gated CD8⁺ T cells in splenocytes. b Histogram showing the CD44^hi cells in the gated splenic CD8⁺ T cells of melanoma-bearing mice. c Percentage of CD8⁺CD44^hi cells in CD8⁺ splenocytes from non-tumor injected mice (Cont) and melanoma-bearing mice at the indicated time points after tumor inoculation. Circle water-drinking mice. Square alcohol-consuming mice. Alcohol group different from water group, *P< 0.05, **P < 0.001. Each group contained ten mice and the results are representative to two separate experiments

Fig. 4.

 Chronic alcohol consumption increases the percentages of MDSC in the PBL and of CD124⁺ cells in MDSC and CD11b⁺ cells. MDSC were determined 1 week after tumor inoculation. a Dot plot of CD11b⁺GR-1^int MDSC in the PBL of water-drinking mice. b Dot plot of CD11b⁺Gr-1^int MDSC in the PBL of alcohol-consuming mice, respectivley. c Percentage of CD11b⁺Gr-1^int MDSC in the PBL. d Percentage of CD124⁺ cells in CD11b⁺Gr-1^int MDSC cells. ETOH group significantly different from water group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001. ETOH Alcohol-consuming group, Water water-drinking group. Each group contained ten mice and the results are representative to two separate experiments
