Abstract

Volume 75, No. 6, pages 2710–2728, https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.75.6.2710-2728.2001. George Zachos, the first author in this paper, said: “I was informed that an investigation by the University of Glasgow found that the Western blots shown in Fig. 1, 2, and 4 contain duplications; as such, the data and its interpretation are misleading and unreliable. Given the age of the publication the original full blots are no longer available. For these reasons, we retract the article and apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused to the readers.” Joe Conner, Chris M. Preston, and Margy Koffa could not be reached for approval of this Retraction, and J. Barklie Clements is deceased.
