In the manuscript, “Tannerella forsythia-induced Alveolar Bone Loss in Mice Involves Leucine-rich-repeat BspA Protein” (J Dent Res 84:462–467), Figures 1 and 3 were labeled incorrectly. The figures appear with their correct legends below. The authors regret the error.
Serum antibody levels in mice following infection/immunization. (A) Anti-whole-specific IgG, (B) rBspA-specific IgG, and (C) rBspA-specific serum IgA. Group A, control (sham-infected and sham-immunized); group B, T. forsythia 43037-infected; group C, BFM571-infected; group D, BspA-immunized and T. forsythia 43037-infected; group E, BspA-immunized. Bars represent mean ± standard error (n = 12).
Proliferative responses of splenic lymphoid cells derived from mice (12 per group) to rBspA (A) and to ConA (B). Cultures were performed in quadruplicate, and the results are expressed as means of the stimulation index, determined as described in the text. Group A, control (sham-infected and sham-immunized); group B, T. forsythia-43037 infected; group C, BFM571-infected; group D, rBspA-immunized and T. forsythia 43037-infected; and group E, rBspA-immunized. **P < 0.005 and *P < 0.05, values significantly higher compared with group A.
