Figures
In Fig 2, parts A and B present lanes that originated on different gels and blots. The Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE gel and the accompanying western blot were both spliced to remove a lane. During figure re-arrangement lane 1 of the western blot in Fig 2B was erroneously duplicated and stretched to represent lanes 4–6, which are blank in the original underlying blot.
Shown is a series of purified scabies mite proteins on a coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE (A) and a corresponding western with a peritrophin-specific antibody (B). The gel (A) demonstrates the purity of the recombinant peptide CBD1 (lane 2) and the fusion protein TSP-CBD1 (lane 3) and (B) the specificity of the antibody raised against CBD1, confirming no cross-reaction with unrelated scabies mite proteins SMSB3a (lane 1), SMIPP-S D1 (lane 5), SMIPP-S I1 (lane 6) and BSA (lane 4). In (A) Lanes 1–3 and lanes 4–6 originate from separate gels that were re-arranged when a lane was removed. Blue lines indicate where the figure was re-arranged. In (B) Lanes 1–3 and lanes 4–6 originate from separate blots that were re-arranged when a lane was removed. White lines indicate where the figure was re-arranged. The underlying data for these figures are available in S1 File.
With this correction we provide an updated version of Fig 2 with lanes from different blots clearly indicated and notation of where lanes were re-arranged. The underlying uncropped gels and blots supporting this correction are provided in S1 File.
