Acute phase protein and cytokine levels in serum and saliva: A comparison of detectable levels and correlations in a depressed and healthy adolescent sample (vol 34, pg 164, 2013)

Abstract

The authors regret that upon further inspection of the data from this study, although the four acute phase proteins reported in the paper were correct in ng/ml, the remaining cytokine values had been written in pg/ml but reported as ng/ml. Therefore, the mean, SD, and ranges reported in Tables 2 and 3 of the manuscript have values for cytokines that are 1000× too high. The acute phase proteins (APP, first four rows of Tables 2 and 3) are all still correct. The remaining cytokines needed to be reduced by 1000× in order to be correctly reported in ng/ml. We have corrected the values in Tables 2 and 3 (attached) and continued to report in units of ng/ml, but simply divided the cytokine values b..
