Letter of Retraction
We wish to retract the article titled “Human Regulatory T Cells Require IL-35 To Mediate Suppression and Infectious Tolerance” by Vandana Chaturvedi, Lauren W. Collison, Clifford S. Guy, Creg J. Workman, and Dario A. A. Vignali, The Journal of Immunology, 2011, 186: 6661-6666.
A recent review by our research team found the approaches used by the first author, Vandana Chaturvedi, to calculate data in several suppression assays (Fig. 3C–E) to be flawed. The authors feel there is sufficient concern over these data in the article that retraction is warranted. All the authors concur with this retraction and sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
