This Article contains errors in Figure 1 and its accompanying legend. In Figure 1D, the nude mice image for H460/MX20 cell xenografts is a duplication of the nude mice image for H460 cell xenografts. In addition, the legend contains errors in the panel labelling. As a result,


“(A) A total of 40 mice were subcutaneously inoculated with H460 and H460/MX20 cells (≈5 × 106) in the right flank, respectively. (B) The changes in tumor volume and body weight over time following the implantation. Data points represented the mean ± SD of tumor volumes and body weight from each group. n = 20. (C) Solid tumor formation rate of H460 and H460/MX20 cells (100%). (D) The selected cell xenografts were cut into about 5 mm × 5 mm and fixed with 10% neutral formalin. (E) ABCG2 expression analysis by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissues collected from H460 and H460/MX20 cell xenografts.”


should read:
