The abbreviation PSGL-1 was incorrectly spelled out as P-selectin glycolipid-1 in four places in text. It should have appeared as P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1.

Page 191: In the second paragraph of the right column, the sentence beginning on line 19 should read as follows:    P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 was also reported to be expressed on the zona pellucida of porcine oocytes, and P-selectin was found on the acrosomal membrane of porcine sperm cells (108). In the last paragraph of the right column, the first sentence should read as follows:    P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 requires carbohydrate modifications such as sialic acid and fucose (283) as well as branched carbohydrate side chains generated by the core-2 -1, 6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase (core-2 enzyme) for its binding activity (180, 204, 233, 369).

Page 192: In the first paragraph of the left column, the sentence beginning on line 12 should read as follows:    P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, as almost all other glycoprotein ligands of the selectins, is a sialomucin. In the last paragraph of the left column, the first sentence should read as follows:    P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 is the best-characterized selectin ligand to date, which fulfills all criteria for a physiologically relevant ligand.
