Retraction Note : Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters (2019) 24:13 10.1186/s11658-019-0137-1
The Editor in Chief has retracted this article because of concerns about the data presented. Specifically, the flow cytometry plots presented in Fig. 1E show a significant similarity to the plots presented in a previously published paper with no common authors [1]. Additionally, the ACP5 blots presented in Fig. 2F appear highly similar to two blots presented in a paper published around the same time as this paper with no common authors [2]. The Editor in Chief no longer has confidence in the reliability of the data. All authors agree to this retraction.
