The publishers would like to apologise for an error that occurred in the iFirst publication of Medical Mycology, doi 10.1080/13693780802209082 [ePub 25 July 2008] Fungal Strategies for Overcoming Host Innate Immune Response LOUIS Y.A. CHAI, MIHAI G. NETEA, ALIEKE G. VONK & BART-JAN KULLBERG The correct caption for Figure 1 appears below. Specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of fungal cell wall engage their respective pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) like TLR2, TLR4 and dectin-1 receptor on immune cells. Complex signaling pathways are activated involving adaptors and protein kinases (see below) resulting in the release of transcription factor to the nucleus to regulate expression of inflammatory cytokines. Adaptors: myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) adaptor protein (TIRAP), TIR domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon b (TRIF), TRIF-related adaptor molecule (TRAM), caspase recruitment domain 9 (CARD9)-B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/lymphoma 10 (Bcl10)-mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation gene 1 (MALT1) complex Protein kinase: spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) IRF, Interferon regulatory factor NF-kB, nuclear factor-kappa B IkB, inhibitor of NF-kB
