This Article contains a typographical error in the Results section under subheading “Interaction with Lipopolysaccharides” where,

“The LAL test was used to assess the ability of the AMPs to interact and neutralize the LPS. Both melimine and Mel4 inhibited LPS’s ability to stimulate amoebocyte lysate in a dose-dependent manner as demonstrated in Table 3.”

should read:

“The LAL test was used to assess the ability of the AMPs to interact and neutralize the LPS. Both melimine and Mel4 inhibited LPS’s ability to stimulate amoebocyte lysate in a dose-dependent manner as demonstrated in Table 2.”
