Erratum: Standardizing immunophenotyping for the Human Immunology Project

Nature Reviews Immunology 12, 191–200 (2012)

On page 195 of the original version of this article, under the subheading “NK cells”, there was an error in the following sentence: “The vast majority of peripheral blood NK cells are CD16⁺CD56^low, whereas a smaller subset is CD16⁺CD56^hi”. This sentence should read: “The vast majority of peripheral blood NK cells are CD16⁺CD56^hi, whereas a smaller subset is CD16^–CD56⁺”. In line with this, in Figure 2 on page 194, the two NK cell populations in the bottom right-hand corner (which were originally labelled as CD56^low and CD56^hi) should be labelled as CD16⁺ and CD16^–; the CD16⁺ NK cells in the original figure should be labelled as CD56⁺ NK cells. The authors apologize for this error.
