Description
Summary:This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of authors. The Journal received an expression of concern from a reader, which noted that: “The problem is that there is no IL-26 gene in the mouse. They claim they bought the KO mouse and the mouse IL-26 protein but given that there is no mouse IL-26 gene, a purchase is not possible and in fact no such reagents are available. Furthermore they do reference and anti-IL-26 antibody but the spec sheet clearly states that it is only reactive with the human protein…., the Enzo Life Sciences online catalog does not have a listing for recombinant IL-26 of any kind.” The authors apologize for their mistakes and have asked to retract the article.
