Abstract

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 3 as published. Figure 3 was substituted with Figure 4, which was duplicated. The corrected Figure 3 and its caption appear below. Stimulation of CD4+ T cells by SEB induces the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in the absence of MHC class II- and B7-expressing APCs. (A–G) Human CD4+ T cells isolated by the peripheral blood of healthy donors (HD) were unstimulated (Med) or stimulated for different times with 1 μg ml-1 SEB. IFN-γ (A), IL-2 (B), IL-6 (C), TNF-α (D), IL-17A (E), IL-22 (F) and GM-CSF (G) levels in culture supernatant were measured by ELISA. Data show the mean ± SEM of different HD (n = 4). Statistical significance was calculated by One-way ANOVA. Means values (pg ml-1): 24 hours; IFN-γ, Med = 0, SEB = 328.7; IL-2, Med = 0, SEB = 1966; IL-6, Med = 92.2; SEB = 249; TNF-α, Med = 0, SEB = 1959; IL-17A, Med = 0, SEB = 251.7; IL-22, Med = 37.4, SEB = 1197; GM-CSF, Med = 19.1, SEB = 916.5. 48 hours; IFN-γ, Med = 0, SEB = 1738; IL-2, Med = 0, SEB = 2600; IL-6, Med = 96.7, SEB = 498.8; TNF-α, Med = 0, SEB = 3361; IL-17A, Med = 0, SEB = 1884; IL-22, Med = 178.6, SEB = 5726; GM-CSF, Med = 22,3, SEB = 3426. 72 hours; IFN-γ, Med = 0, SEB = 3099; IL-2, Med = 0.9, SEB = 2303; IL-6, Med = 95, SEB = 851.5; TNF-α, Med = 2.6, SEB = 3591; IL-17A, Med = 0, SEB = 4211; IL-22, Med = 140.9, SEB = 10737; GM-CSF, Med = 42.3, SEB = 7633. (*) p < 0.05, (**) p < 0.01, (***) p < 0.001, (****) p < 0.0001. NS, not significant.
