Year: 2020
Type: erratum
Abstract: Following publication of this article [1], concerns were raised about regions of similarity between the images of the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) microscope slides for detection of hantavirus-specific antibodies shown in Fig 1 and images of IFA slides for detection of different antibodies published in other articles [2][3][4].The authors clarify that the images in Fig 1 were digitally created using image editing software to combine images of a slide background, reaction fields and assay labels.The images in Fig 1 are for illustrative purposes only, to support understanding of slide configuration and methodology.Fig 1 does not contribute to the results data or scientific conclusions of the study.In light of concerns that the originally published Fig 1 includes previously published image elements that are not licensed for reproduction and distribution under the terms of the CC-BY license, the original article was
