Retraction for Siu et al., “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 4a Protein Is a Double-Stranded RNA-Binding Protein That Suppresses PACT-Induced Activation of RIG-I and MDA5 in the Innate Antiviral Response”

RETRACTION

Volume 88, no. 9, p. 4866–4876, 2014, https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.03649-13. We have been alerted that in Fig. 1B, the lysate panels for the positive and negative controls PACT and dsm are more similar than expected. An error was possibly introduced when the figure was assembled from results obtained from experiments that were repeated several times. However, since 8 years have passed since publication, investigation with original research materials is impossible. Therefore, we now retract this paper in full to correct the literature.
