3. In Figures 2c, 2e, 3i, and 4b, the β-actin loading controls are identical.

4. In Figures 2e (left) and 4b, the β-actin loading controls are identical.

5. In Figures 3f and 3h, the β-actin loading controls are identical.

6. In Figure 3i, the western blot molecular mass labels are incorrect.

7. Figure 4c is incorrectly labelled as NF-κB immunofluorescence.
