Retraction to: British Journal of Cancer (2005) 92, 942–948; doi:10.1038/sj.bjc.6602376
An Internal Review Committee at UT Southwestern Medical Center found evidence of improper replication of figures in this paper. A subsequent review by Dr Gazdar and his staff has independently confirmed the Committee's findings. In this paper, the GAPDH loading controls, specifically lanes 4–12 of Figure 1A and C (p 944), appear to be identical. The authors have therefore recommended the retraction of the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief of British Journal of Cancer.
Dr Suzuki, Dr Gazdar and their co-authors sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused the readers of the British Journal of Cancer.
