In the published article, there was an error in Figure 3 as published. In the Figure 3C, the image of the non-permeabilized AdHu5-PfCSP is a duplicate of the non-permeabilized AAV1-PfCSP-G(+) image. The corrected Figure 3 and its caption appear below.
Figure 3

Functional activity of AAV1-PfCSP-G(+). (A) Constructs of AAV1-PfCSP-G(+) and AdHu5-PfCSP-G(+). Expression of the pcsp gene cassette in AAV1 and AdHu5 was driven by a CMV promoter and CAG promoter, respectively. G, VSV-G. (B) Expression of PfCSP in HEK293T cells transduced with AdHu5-PfCSP (lane 1, MOI = 3), AAV1-PfCSP-G(–) (lane 2, MOI = 105), or AAV1-PfCSP-G(+) (lane 3, MOI = 105), as assessed by immunoblotting with mAb 2A10 at 48 h post-transduction. (C) Localization of PfCSP expression in HEK293T cells transduced with AAV1-PfCSP-G(+) (MOI = 105) and AdHu5-PfCSP (MOI = 10), as determined by IFA conducted as described in Figure 2C. (D) Anti-PfCSP IgG antibody responses. Groups of BALB/c mice (n = 10) were immunized with the indicated regimen at a 6-week interval. At 4 weeks post-boost, serum samples were collected from each mouse, and their anti-PfCSP IgG titers were determined by ELISA. AdHu5-PfCSP, AAV1-PfCSP-G(–), and AAV1-PfCSP (G+) are shown as AdHu5, AAV1-G(–), and AAV1-G(+), respectively. Bars and error bars indicate the means and SD of the values, respectively. Between-group differences were assessed with a Mann–Whitney U-test (*p < 0.05).
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.
