Corrigendum: Staphylococcus epidermidis Boosts Innate Immune Response by Activation of Gamma Delta T Cells and Induction of Perforin-2 in Human Skin

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 1B as published. The incorrect contour plots for the conditions Control 24 h and S. epidermidis 48 h were mistakenly included into Figure 1B. The correct representative contour plots in Figure 1B appear below.

Figure 1.

Staphylococcus epidermidis increases the number of GD T cells in human skin ex vivo. Control, uncolonized, and S. epidermidis colonized skin was maintained on air liquid interface and collected at indicated time points (0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h). Single cell suspensions were obtained and labeled with live/dead stain, CD45, CD3, and GD TCR. (A) Cells were analyzed using flow cytometry and gated on the CD45+ CD3+ GDT+ population. Bar graphs show SEM frequency (%) and SEM number (#) of skin GD T cells (n = 5). (B) Representative contour plots showing frequency of GD TCR in control and S. epidermidis colonized skin. (C) Number of S. epidermidis colony forming units (CFU) recovered from ex vivo skin explants colonized with S. epidermidis CCN021 on day 0 through day 4. Data represent at least two technical replicates and five independent biological replicates per group. **p < 0.01 (two-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak multiple-comparison test).
