Abstract
The article "Tonsillar CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells from IgA Nephropathy Patients Have Decreased Immunosuppressive Activity in Experimental IgA Nephropathy Rats" [Am J Nephrol. 2013;37(5):472-480; https://doi.org/10.1159/000350533] by Hongdong Huang, Youming Peng, Xi-Dai Long, Zhihua Liu, Xiaojun Wen, Meng Jia, Yumei Liang, and Anlan Huang has been retracted by the Publisher and the Editor.After the publication of this article, image duplication was identified between Figure 3 (TGF-β1) and Figure 3 (β-actin) of this article and Figure 3 (ADAMTSI3-antibody) and Figure 3 (β-actin), respectively, in a later published article by overlapping authors [1]. Image duplication was also detected between the panels within Figure 4 of this article.When asked to comment, the corresponding author stated that the original data for Figure 3 was not available for review and did not provide an explanation for the overlapping images. The authors provided an original image for Figure 4. The concerns and authors' response were reviewed by the Editor, who determined that the response was unsatisfactory to resolve the concerns and concluded that, as the concerns are not resolved and may impact the reliability of the article, the article should be retracted.Hongdong Huang disagrees with the retraction, and the co-authors did not respond to our correspondence about the retraction of this article within the timeframe specified or could not be reached for comment.
