Abstract

Christine M Swanson, Rebecca C Smedley, Paulo Vilar Saavedra, Matti Kiupel and Barbara E Kitchell J Feline Med Surg 2012; 14: 741–745, DOI: 10.1177/1098612X12451404.

An error appeared in the legends for Figures 1 and 2, in which ‘nuclear’ should have read as ‘perinuclear’. The figures and corrected legends appear below:

Figure 1

Feline small intestine sample infiltrated by malignant T-cells. At least 95% of the transmurally infiltrating round cells demonstrated positive red perinuclear immunolabeling for Bcl-2

Figure 2

Feline small intestine sample demonstrating inflammatory bowel disease. Approximately 50% of the infiltrating round cells in the mucosal lamina propria displayed red perinuclear immunolabeling for Bcl-2. Occasional intraepithelial lymphocytes within the villi also demonstrate positive labeling

The authors apologise for the error.
