Novobrantseva et al. Vol. 189, No. 1, January 4, 1999. Pages 75–87.
The authors regret that several mistakes were introduced into Tables III–VI (pp. 79, 80, 82, and 83) during the formatting process. Please note that these mistakes do not affect anything in the text or any of the conclusions drawn in the paper. In addition, an editorial change was made that altered the meaning of the final sentence on p. 83. The corrections are as follows:
Table III: The DHJH rearrangement in cell 298 uses the JH4 element.
Table IV: The sequence of the second DHJH rearrangement in cell 60 should read as follows (underlined nucleotides are missing in the published sequence): TCTACTACTGNNTCTACTATAGGTACGGNCCCCTGGCTTGGCTTACTGGGGC. The reading frame of the Dsp2.10 element is rf3. The light chain gene rearrangement in cell 50 is nonproductive. Please note that cell 110 does indeed have a nonproductive VHDHJH rearrangement as indicated since it uses a VH pseudo gene (data not shown).
Table V: Cell S196 uses the Dfl16.1 element in reading frame 1 in its VHDHJH rearrangement. The sequence of the second VHDHJH rearrangement in cell S219 should read as follows (the underlined nucleotide is missing in the published sequence): TGTGATTACTATAACTATGGACTACTGGGNT. The reading frame of the DH element is rf2. Cell S258 uses the Jκ5 element.
Table VI: Cell S196 should appear in bold, rather than cell 50; cells 499 and 50 should be underlined, rather than cell 57.
The final sentence of p. 83 should read “Although it is true that the ratio of productive to nonproductive joints is similar in κ chain+, VκJκ rearrangement-containing, and total CD43+ cells...”
