On page 1210 of the 3 September 2015 issue, there are two errors in Figure 5. In Figure 5A, row 5, column 5, “25.0%” should read “16.7%.” In Figure 5B, the wrong set of ELISPOT wells is shown. The corrected Figure 5 is shown below. The errors have been corrected in the online version, which now differs from the print version.
![Figure 5. Functional characterization of myeloma-associated antigens. (A) Myeloma-associated T-cell epitopes with their corresponding HLA restrictions and frequencies of immune recognition by myeloma patient-derived T cells in IFNγ-ELISPOT assays. (B) Example of myeloma-associated T-cell epitopes evaluated in an IFNγ-ELISPOT using HV PBMCs. An EBV epitope mix containing the frequently recognized peptides BRLF109-117 YVLDHLIVV (A*02) and EBNA3247-255 RPPIFIRRL (B*07 served as positive control). Benign-tissue–derived peptides KLFEKVKEV (HLA-A*02) and KPSEKIQVL (B*07) served as negative control. (C) Examples of myeloma-associated T-cell epitopes evaluated in IFNγ-ELISPOTs using MM patient PBMCs (n = 3). Results are shown only for immunoreactive peptides. An EBV epitope mix containing 5 frequently recognized peptides (BRLF109-117 YVLDHLIVV [A*02], EBNA3471-479 RLRAEAQVK [A*03], EBNA3247-255 RPPIFIRRL [B*07], BZLF1190-197 RAKFKQLL [B*08], EBNA6162-171 AEGGVGWRHW [B*44]) was used as positive control. Benign-tissue–derived peptides KLFEKVKEV (HLA-A*02) and KPSEKIQVL (B*07) served as negative control.

In addition, in supplemental Figure 3B, the PDIA4136-153 well was erroneously depicted. A corrected supplemental Figure 3 has replaced the incorrect figure in the supplemental Data file on the Blood Web site.
