Editorial Expression of Concern to: British Journal of Cancer 10.1038/sj.bjc.6605499, published online 05 January 2010
The Editor-in-Chief would like to alert the readers that concerns have been raised regarding the images presented in Fig. 3 of this article, specifically:
Fig. 3C, pAKT, Erb-hcAb and Erb-hRNase seem to be highly similar to one another
Fig. 3C, Actin and Fig. 2C, Actin [1] appear to be highly similar
The authors had been given the opportunity to address the concerns raised; however, they did not respond to the Publisher’s correspondence about this Editorial Expression of concern.
Readers are therefore advised to interpret these results with caution.
