In Table 1 of the above article, the units in the column headings for TGF-β1, IFN-γ and IL-5 were incorrectly given as ng/ml, when they should have read pg/ml. The correct version of Table 1 is shown below. The authors wish to apologize for any confusion caused.
Table 1.
Production of TGF-β, IFN-γ and IL-5 by LPMC isolated from CD and UC involved tissue and small bowel and colonic controls. Cells were cultured for 72 h in medium containing 1% Nutridoma
