Figure 7H also contains a duplication: the images for tumour samples TrkC #1 and #2 are the same. The correct H&E staining panels of Figure 7H appears below as Figure 2.

In the original Article, the methods used for tumour histology were not included. These are given below:


“Tumor histology. Tumor histology was assessed by staining paraffin-embedded tissue sections with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Mice were sacrificed, the lungs of each mouse were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature, washed in PBS and then embedded in paraffin. Paraffin-embedded lung sections (5 µm) were stained by standard protocols with hematoxylin (Sigma) for 8 min and with eosin (Sigma) for 1 min. The tissue sections were examined under LSM700 immunofluorescence microscope Z1 (ZEISS) after mounting with Permount mounting medium (Fisher Scientific).”
