Erratum to: Maternal allergic disease history affects childhood allergy development through impairment of neonatal regulatory T-cells

n.b. The errors and associated corrections described in this document concerning the original manuscript were accountable to the production department handling this manuscript, and thus are no fault of the authors of this paper. Additionally, the online manuscript has now been updated with these corrections accordingly.

In the original publication of this article [1], figures 1 and 2 were inadvertently swapped. Figure 2 should therefore have been in the place of Figure 1 and vice versa. Please see below for the correct figure labels.

Percent of CD4⁺CD25⁺FOXP3⁺ T cells in untreated and stimulated CBMCs. CD4⁺CD25⁺FOXP3⁺ T cell populations were determined by fluorescent antibody staining and FACS. a Unstimulated CD4⁺CD25⁺FOXP3⁺T cells represented 1.80 % of the CBMC population (=90.8 % * 1.98 %). b CD4⁺CD25⁺FOXP3⁺T cells represented 1.98 % of the LPA-stimulated CBMC population (=70.14 % * 2.83 %). c CD4⁺CD25⁺FOXP3⁺T cells represented 2.41 % of the PPG-stimulated CBMC population (=49.57 % * 4.87 %). See Methods for details on CBMC culturing, stimulation, and fluorescence staining
