In this Letter, analysis of steady-state regulatory T (Treg) cell percentages from Il2ra enhancer deletion (EDEL) and wild-type (WT) mice revealed no differences between them (Extended Data Fig. 9d). This analysis included two mice whose genotypes were incorrectly assigned. Even after correction of the genotypes, no significant differences in Treg cell percentages were seen when data across experimental cohorts were averaged (as was done in Extended Data Fig. 9d). However, if we normalize the corrected data to account for variation among experimental cohorts, a subtle decrease in EDEL Treg cell percentages is revealed and, using the corrected and normalized data, we have redrawn Extended Data Fig. 9d in Supplementary Fig. 1. The Supplementary Information to this Amendment contains the corrected and reanalysed Extended Data Fig. 9d. The sentence "This enhancer deletion (EDEL) strain also had no obvious T cell phenotypes at steady state (Extended Data Fig. 9)." should read: "This enhancer deletion (EDEL) strain had a small decrease in the percentage of Treg cells (Extended Data Fig. 9).". This error does not affect any of the main figures in the Letter or the data from mice with the human autoimmune-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) knocked in or with a 12-base-pair deletion at the site (12DEL). In addition, we stated in the Methods that we observed consistent immunophenotypes of EDEL mice across three founders, but in fact, we observed consistent phenotypes in mice from two founders. This does not change any of our conclusions and the original Letter has not been corrected.
在本信函中,对Il2ra增强子缺失(EDEL)小鼠和野生型(WT)小鼠的稳态调节性T(Treg)细胞百分比进行分析,结果显示二者之间无差异(扩展数据图9d)。该分析纳入了两只基因型被错误指定的小鼠。即便校正了基因型,对各实验队列的数据进行平均后(如扩展数据图9d中所做的那样),仍未观察到Treg细胞百分比存在显著差异。然而,如果我们对校正后的数据进行归一化处理以考虑各实验队列之间的差异,就会发现EDEL小鼠的Treg细胞百分比略有下降,并且利用校正和归一化后的数据,我们在补充图1中重新绘制了扩展数据图9d。本修订案的补充信息包含经校正和重新分析的扩展数据图9d。“这种增强子缺失(EDEL)品系在稳态时也没有明显的T细胞表型(扩展数据图9)。”这句话应改为:“这种增强子缺失(EDEL)品系的Treg细胞百分比略有下降(扩展数据图9)。”此错误不影响信函中的任何主要图,也不影响敲入人类自身免疫相关单核苷酸多态性(SNP)或在该位点有12个碱基对缺失(12DEL)的小鼠的数据。此外,我们在方法部分中指出,我们在三个奠基者的EDEL小鼠中观察到了一致的免疫表型,但实际上,我们在两个奠基者的小鼠中观察到了一致的表型。这并未改变我们的任何结论,原始信函也未作修正。
