Effect of lactoferrin protein on red blood cells and macrophages: mechanism of parasite–host interaction

The authors have advised due to an error that occurred inadvertently at the time of figure assembly, the representative image for 40 µg Holo form sample, in was included as a duplicate image of 20 µg Apo form sample. In addition, for the untreated sample, the representative image of the same microscopic field was included twice. It is also noted in the abbreviations list “BLf Fe, bovine apolactoferrin” should read “BLf Apo, bovine apolactoferrin”.

The correct is shown below. These changes do not affect the conclusions of the article in any way. The authors apologize for this unintentional human error.

Figure 1 (A) Giemsa stain microscopy of red blood cells treated with different forms of lactoferrin at different concentrations (100×) and the untreated group. This experiment was repeated in triplicate. Morphological characteristics, ie, shape, size, and diameter, were the same in the different treated red blood cells compared with the untreated group. (B) Morphometric analysis of RBCs treated for 48 hours with the different proteins at a concentration of 40 μg/mL. No significant difference was found between the treated and untreated groups.

Abbreviations: BLf, bovine lactoferrin; BLf Apo, bovine apolactoferrin; BLf Fe, iron-saturated bovine lactoferrin; BuLf, buffalo lactoferrin; BuLf Apo, buffalo apolactoferrin; BuLf Fe, iron-saturated buffalo lactoferrin; RBCs, red blood cells.
