APPLIED PHYSICAL SCIENCES, BIOPHYSICS AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY Correction for “Cancer radiotherapy based on femtosecond IR laser-beam filamentation yielding ultra-high dose rates and zero entrance dose,” by Ridthee Meesat, Hakim Belmouaddine, Jean-François Allard, Catherine Tanguay-Renaud, Rosalie Lemay, Tiberius Brastaviceanu, Luc Tremblay, Benoit Paquette, J. Richard Wagner, Jean-Paul Jay-Gerin, Martin Lepage, Michael A. Huels, and Daniel Houde, which appeared in issue 38, September 18, 2012, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (109:E2508–E2513; first published August 27, 2012; 10.1073/pnas.1116286109).
The authors note that they omitted a reference to an article by Dumont et al. The complete reference appears below.
Also, on page E2512, right column, third full paragraph, lines 1–3 “pGEM-3Zf(-) plasmid DNA (3,197 bp, Promega) was extracted form Escherichia coli DH5α and purified with the QIAfilter Plasmid Giga Kit (Qiagen)” should instead appear as “pGEM-3Zf(-) plasmid DNA (3,197 bp, Promega) was prepared in the laboratory of Dr. Darel Hunting. The plasmid was amplified and extracted from Escherichia coli JM109 and purified with the QIAfilter Plasmid Giga Kit (Qiagen) followed by removal of tris-EDTA buffer using homemade Sephadex G50 (Pharmacia) columns, according to the method published by Dumont et al. (56).”
Lastly, the following statement should be added to the Acknowledgments: “The authors wish to thank Dr. Darel Hunting for providing the plasmid DNA used in this work.”
