Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the caption of Figure 9 as published. In Figure 9B, right panel, loading control for MCF-7 blot was inadvertently labeled as Tubulin, whereas it should be Actin. The corrected Figure 9 caption appear below.
- Figure 9. (A) Changes in the expression of CDK2 in A549 and MCF-7 cells induced by extracts #57 and #46. The CDK2 doublet visible in the controls fades with the addition of both extracts indicating a decline in the kinase activity. Tubulin has been used as loading control; (B) p21 expression in MCF-7 is induced by extracts #46 and #57. Actin has been used as loading control; (C) p27 expression (after 24 h) in A549 and MCF-7 cells treated with extracts #46 and #57. p27 protein is significantly induced by both extracts in A549 cells, but not in MCF-7 cells. Actin has been used as loading control. p21 ((B), right panel) and p27 ((C), right panel) expression in MCF-7 cells were probed from the same blot, and the same actin blot is shown as a control for both p21 and p27.
Text Correction
A correction has been made to 3. Materials and Methods, 3.8. Western Blot Analysis:
Filters were washed and stained with specific primary antibodies and then with secondary antisera conjugated with horseradish peroxidase diluted 1:2000 (Bio-Rad). Filters were developed using the enhanced chemiluminescence Western blotting detection reagent (Amersham). Membranes were stripped and re-probed with different antibodies.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
