Retraction Note: Identification of one critical amino acid that determines a conformational neutralizing epitope in the capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2
BMC Microbiology volume 24, Article number: 542 (2024)
The Original Article was published on 22 August 2011
Retraction Note: BMC Microbiol 11, 188 (2011)
The Editor has retracted this article because of concerns regarding figures presented in this work. These concerns call into question the article’s overall scientific soundness. An investigation conducted after its publication discovered that a portion of Fig. 5e appears to overlap, when rotated, with a portion of Fig. 5g. These panels represent tissues taken from different animals. In light of previous concerns involving figures presented in this article, the Editor therefore no longer has confidence in the integrity of the research presented in this article.
Chang M Liu, Li P Huang, Yan W Wei, and Long J Guo disagree with the retraction. Yue H Lu has not replied to correspondence from the Publisher.
