Corrigendum: 1270 nm near-infrared light as a novel vaccine adjuvant acts on mitochondrial photoreception in intradermal vaccines

Error in Figure/Table

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 7 as published. “Day 28” was labeled in Figures 7A–D instead of “Day 21”, which is inconsistent with the main text and legend. The corrected Figure 7 and its caption appear below.

Figure 7.

Effect of the near-infrared (NIR) laser adjuvant on anti-influenza immune responses. Serum anti-influenza specific (A) IgG, (B) IgG1, (C) IgG2c, (D) IgG2c/IgG1 ratio at day 21, and (E) IgG, (F) IgG1, (G) IgG2c, (H) IgG2c/IgG1 ratio at day 56. (A–H) n = 14, 14, 18, 16, 14, and 14 for no vaccine (saline), vaccine ID only (ID only), 1064 nm CW laser + vaccine ID, 1270 nm CW laser + vaccine, vaccine/alum ID (Alum), and vaccine IM, respectively. Results were pooled from three independent experiments and analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Dunn’s multiple comparison test. (*p<0.05, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001 compared with ID only) Geometric mean with 95% CI. (I) The effect of the NIR laser adjuvant on body weight of vaccinated mice following viral challenge. Body weights were monitored daily for 2 weeks. Mean body weight ± s.e.m. n = 14, 14, 18, 16, 14, and 14 for no vaccine (saline), vaccine ID only (ID only), 1064 nm CW laser + vaccine ID, 1270 nm CW laser + vaccine, vaccine/alum ID (Alum), and vaccine IM, respectively. (J) Kaplan–Meier survival plots for 2 weeks following lethal influenza challenge; Gehan–Breslow–Wilcoxon test. (I, J) Results were pooled from three independent experiments.
