Thioreductase-Containing Epitopes Inhibit the Development of Type 1 Diabetes in the NOD Mouse Model
by Malek Abrahimians E, Vander Elst L, Carlier VA, Saint-Remy J-M. Front Immunol (2016) 7: 67. doi: 10. 3389/fimmu. 2016. 00067

In the original article, there was an error in the wording concerning the production of cytokines.

A correction has been made to the section Results, Subsection CCGAD65 Peptide Elicits CD4+ T Cells with a Unique Phenotype and Cytolytic Properties, Paragraph 2:

The phenotype at resting state, 14 days after last stimulation with CCGAD65-loaded APCs, was CD3 ⁺ CD4 ⁺ CD8 ⁻ CD25 ⁺ CD44 ⁺ CD62L ⁻ CD127 ⁻ CD27 ⁻ CD28 ⁻, indicative of an effector memory phenotype. Some cells were positive for T-Bet and/or GATA-3, but all were negative for Foxp3. The production of cytokines was essentially Il-4 and low IFN-γ. This distinct phenotype was conserved even when cells were repeatedly stimulated in vitro with the WTGAD65 peptide, suggesting a terminal differentiation. By contrast, the phenotype expressed by CD4 ⁺ T cells generated in a similar manner from mice immunized with the WTGAD65 peptide was CD3 ⁺ CD4 ⁺ CD8 ⁻ CD25 ⁺ CD44 ⁺ CD62L ⁻ CD127 ^high CD27 ^high CD28 ⁻(Figure 2B; Figures S3 and S4 in Supplementary Material). Altogether, this indicates that cells generated with a thioreductase-containing peptide are terminally differentiated effector T cells with a memory phenotype.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

The original article has been updated.
