The authors found that the Colo205 cells used were derived from incorrectly labelled HeLa-TNFR2 stocks. The incorrect identification of the cells does not affect the validity of our data and does not limit the conclusions drawn in our paper. The authors apologize for this mistake in cell identity and for any inconvenience caused thereby.
