The original version of the article unfortunately has a mistake.

The immunoblot for HDAC1 for epididymis shown in Fig. 8a is not the intended one. The correct immunoblot can be seen below.

Involvement of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) during LPS-induced antimicrobial gene expression in the male reproductive tract. Caput and testis obtained from adult Wistar rats were cultured in nutritive medium and challenged with 1 μg/ml LPS for 0–180 min. Tissues were then homogenized and the lysate was separated on SDS-PAGE and Western blotting performed using monoclonal antibodies specific to HDAC1. GAPDH was used as the internal control. a Caput; b testis. Defensin and Spag11 gene expression was analyzed by real-time PCR in the caput (c) and testis (d) pretreated with 50 μM trichostatin A followed by 1 μg/ml LPS challenge for 6 h. Values shown are mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 compared to 0 h (untreated control). #p < 0.05 compared to LPS alone treated
