Retraction Note to: Gene Therapy https://doi.org/10.1038/gt.2009.104, published online 27 August 2009
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the western blot images presented in the figures. Specifically:
-
In Fig. 1b, the Cone PDE blot lanes 4–6 appear to have a different background compared with the rest of the image, and the bands appear highly similar to Fig. 1c Rod PDE lanes 4–6.
-
Several Ac-tubulin bands appear to be highly similar in Fig. 5a and b.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
