Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Research in the lab of JT is funded by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA. ND and JTP are, or were at the time of the study, employed by the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies. ND, JTP, and JT are named inventors on patents for which the rights have been assigned to the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies. This does not alter our adherence to all PLoS Pathogens policies on sharing data and materials.
