Editorial Expression of Concern to: Oncogene https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.onc.1204750, published online 04 October 2001

The Editor-in-Chief would like to inform the readers that the following concerns have been raised

β-actin in Fig. 2b and 2c appears to be similar; Caspase-8 in Fig. 2c (caspase-8) and 3a appears to be similar. The authors have stated that for (a), the β-actin blots are from the same experiment and thus are identical. They have represented it in two places (Fig. 2b and 2c) for clarity.

The authors have stated that for (b), the caspase-8 bands from Fig. 2c are displayed in Fig. 3a as a protein control for clarity.

Due to the age of the article, raw images are not available for further analysis.

Authors Simone Fulda and Klaus-Michael Debatin agree with this EEoC. The Publisher has not been able to get the current email addresses for authors Martin U Küfer, Eric Meyer, Frans van Valen, and Barbara Dockhorn-Dworniczak.
