    Genetically modified mice as models of transplant atherosclerosis Russell, Ross Nature Medicine 2, 527–528 (1996) In a News & Views in the May issue, the defect in MHC I−/− mice in Table 1 should have read: CD8+ T cells depleted, not CD4+ T cells. We apologize for the error. The corrected version of Table 1 appears below.
