This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.
Molecular Therapy – Nucleic Acids is retracting this article. After the authors requested to correct images in Figure 4, evidence for duplication of images in Figures 1F and 1H in identical or altered fashion was identified. The editors also identified overlap between flow cytometry plots in Figure 3G. The authors were unable to provide the original images for Figures 1F and 1H and instead repeated the experiment. The authors also reanalyzed the flow cytometry data in Figure 3G. The results of the new experiment and analysis were markedly different from those presented in the original article. Given the image duplication and lack of agreement between the original data and the data supplied by the authors, the Editor-in-Chief has decided to retract this article. The authors did not agree to the retraction.
