This Article contains errors in Figure 3.


In Figure 3A, the immunohistochemical staining figure in the Normal+NC group is incorrect.


In addition, Figure 3C was incomplete. The days 0 to 7 are added.


The correct Figure 3 and accompanying legend appears below.

Expression of BTLA in rat allografts in the Allo + NC and Allo + BTLA groups. (A) IHC staining showed significantly upregulated BTLA expression in the kidney tissue of the SD rat by BTLA-overexpression adenovirus (Normal + BTLA) compared with the negative control vector (Normal + NC) and normal SD rat (Normal). (B) qRT-PCR showed upregulated mRNA expression of BTLA induced by the BTLA-overexpression adenovirus. (C) Postoperative BTLA expression of the kidney graft by IHC staining between the Allo + NC and Allo + BTLA groups (magnification: 200×). (D) Integrated optical density (IOD) value for quantifying BTLA protein. (E) mRNA expression of BTLA in the kidney graft by qRT-PCR among the Allo + NC and Allo + BTLA groups. Data are expressed as the means ± SD. NS, not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
