We have been informed that we did not cite a relevant prior study1. The paper was discussed with reviewers during peer review and the citation was left out inadvertently. We now comment on it in the Introduction of our paper (as new ref. 14) and add Table 1 in the Supplementary Information file drawing comparison with prior art on STING technologies.
