RETRACTION: IPO-trimethylation of Histone H3-lysine9 Associated with P210 BCR-ABL Tyrosine Kinase of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia.

Abstract

Retraction: M. Mancini, E. Zuffa, N. Veljkovic, G. Brusa, P. Corrado, V. Corradi, G. Martinelli, E. Barbieri, and M. A. Santucci, "IPO-trimethylation of Histone H3-lysine⁹ Associated with P210 BCR-ABL Tyrosine Kinase of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia," British Journal of Haematology 141, no. 6 (2006): 899-902, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2141.2008.07134.x. The above article, published online on 22 April 2008 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief Andrew Evans; the British Society for Haematology; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. A third party notified the journal that they had found evidence of image manipulation and duplication within Figure 2. The third party also reported that bands in Figure 2 of this article had been reused from 2 other articles by some of the same authors (Mancini et al. 2006 [https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2141.2005.05873.x] and Mancini et al. 2007 [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leukres.2006.09.022]). An investigation by the publisher confirmed that some cytoplasm bands in Figure 1 had been duplicated, that some HIST1H1 bands in Figure 2A had been duplicated, and that the HIST4H4 panel in Figure 2B had been inserted. The investigation also confirmed that bands had been reused from other articles by the same authors, each of which describes different experimental conditions. Authors M. Mancini and N. Calonghi responded to an inquiry by the publisher, but due to the length of time since publication they were not able to provide an explanation for the evidence of image manipulation or the original data. The authors did not respond to our notice regarding the retraction.
