In the version of this article initially published, the third label along the horizontal axis of Fig. 4b (Il13a) and the middle label above each plot in Fig. 6k (Stat-/-) were incorrect, and the hash marks along the horizontal axis for Fig. 6i were spaced incorrectly. Also, the statistical results in the citation for Supplementary Fig. 5a (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 (unpaired Student's t-test)) in the fifth subsection of Results were incorrect. The correct label for Fig. 4b is Il23a and for Fig. 6k is Stat1-/-, and the right hash mark along the horizontal axis for Fig. 6i should be beneath the data points at right. The correct citation of the statistical results is as follows: "(P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 (unpaired Student's t-test); Supplementary Fig. 5a)." The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF version of the article.
