Corrigendum: Increased Expression of sST2 in Early HIV Infected Patients Attenuated the IL-33 Induced T Cell Responses

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 2C as published. The leftmost diagram at the bottom of Figure 2C was mistakenly duplicated from the third diagram at the bottom of Figure 2C during the figure preparation. The corrected Figure 2 appears below.

Figure 2.

IL-33 increases the expression of IFN-γ by Gag and CEF stimulated CD8⁺ T cells. CD8⁺ T cells were isolated from HIV-1 individuals and treated with Gag peptide pools with rhIL-33 (10 ng/mL and 100 ng/mL) or without IL-33 (0 ng/mL). Intracellular IFN-γ expression was detected by flow cytometer and compared by paired t-test (0 ng/mL: 2.44 ± 1.53%; 10 ng/mL: 5.46 ± 3.30%; 100 ng/mL: 7.81 ± 4.20%). Representative flow cytometry dot plot (A) and summary data (B) were shown. CD8⁺ T cells were isolated from HIV-1 individuals and treated with CEF peptide pools with rhIL-33 (10 ng/mL and 100 ng/mL) or without IL-33 (0 ng/mL). Intracellular IFN-γ expression was detected by flow cytometer and compared by paired t-test (0 ng/mL: 1.81 ± 0.75%; 10 ng/mL: 3.44 ± 1.93%; 100 ng/mL: 5.80 ± 3.00%). Representative flow cytometry dot plot (C) and summary data (D) were shown. CD8⁺ T cells were stimulated with Gag peptide pools (E) or CEF peptides (F) and IFN-γ secretion was detected by ELISPOT assay. The numbers of spot forming cells (SFC) were log transformed and then compared by paired t-test. The number of SFC treated by 100 ng/mL IL-33 were compared with cells without IL-33 stimulation (0 ng/mL).
