Author “Arnaldo A. Arbini” was erroneously spelled as “Arnaldo A. Armini”.
A correction has been made to the Abstract, first paragraph (Introduction)
Error:
“In this study, we explored the immunologic and genetic factors, with, serum drug monitoring that may contribute to a faster rate of B-cell repletion that follows during recovery from treatment with anti-CD20 antibody.”
Corrected sentence:
“In this study, we explored the immunologic and genetic factors, with serum drug monitoring, that may contribute to a faster rate of B-cell repletion that follows during recovery from treatment with anti-CD20 antibody.”
A correction has been made to the Introduction, first paragraph (after heading “1 Introduction”)
Error:
“Suspicion of the potential roles of B-cells in MS was first suggested based on oligoclonal immunoglobulin bands in the CSF of MS patients (4, 5) and later confirmed by on the clinical efficacy of B-cell-depleting therapies in suppressing relapses and new MRI lesions in MS (6, 7).”
Corrected sentence:

A correction has been made to the Materials and methods, Flow cytometric analyses (Section 2.3), second paragraph
Error:
“Cells were washed fixed, and data was acquired on a 5-laser (355/405/488/561/637 nm) SONY ID7000 Spectral analyzer.”
Corrected sentence:
“Cells were washed, fixed, and data were acquired on a 5-laser (355/405/488/561/637 nm) SONY ID7000 Spectral analyzer.”
A correction has been made to the Materials and methods, Statistical analyses of genetic SNP (Section 2.5), second paragraph
Error:
“Additionally, among the significantly overrepresented SNPs (Fisher’s exact test, p < 0.005) with a positive mean allele frequency in ERs compared to NRs, we identified 317 SNPs of interest that had a mean allele frequency of for NRs but an allele frequency of at least 2 in ERs (Supplementary Table S2).”
Corrected sentence:

A correction has been made to the Discussion, fifth paragraph (after heading “4 Discussion”)
Error:
“In our patients, we observed an appropriate reciprocal decrease in serum BAFF levels concurrent with the period of peripheral B cell replenishment. In MS patients, the differences in BAFF levels in ER and NR thus appear to be a conseque”
Corrected sentence:
“In our patients, we observed an appropriate reciprocal decrease in serum BAFF levels concurrent with the period of peripheral B cell replenishment. In MS patients, the differences in BAFF levels in ER and NR thus appear to be a consequence.”
