Abstract
RETRACTION: C. Besson Duvanel, P. Honegger and J.-M. Matthieu, “Antibodies Directed Against Rubella Virus Induce Demyelination in Aggregating Rat Brain Cell Cultures,” Journal of Neuroscience Research 65, no. 5 (2001): 446-454, https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.1173.
The above article, published online on 28 August 2001 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Lawrence S. Sherman, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation into concerns raised by a third party. The article purports a homology between amino acid sequences of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and the rubella virus E2 glycoprotein. However, further analysis has demonstrated that the referenced sequences are not present in the mature MOG proteins. The authors did not respond to address the concerns and did not provide their original data. As a result, the editors consider the conclusions of this article to be unsupported.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuroscience Research (JNR) publishes novel research results that will advance our understanding of the development, function and pathophysiology of the nervous system, using molecular, cellular, systems, and translational approaches. JNR covers both basic research and clinical aspects of neurology, neuropathology, psychiatry or psychology.
The journal focuses on uncovering the intricacies of brain structure and function. Research published in JNR covers all species from invertebrates to humans, and the reports inform the readers about the function and organization of the nervous system, with emphasis on how disease modifies the function and organization.
