Withdrawal: A novel human phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein resists tumor necrosis factor {alpha}-induced apoptosis by inhibiting mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation and phosphatidylethanolamine externalization. [Withdrawals/Retractions]

This article has been withdrawn by the authors except for Hongzhe Li, who could not be reached. In Fig. 2A, lanes 3 and 4 of the hPEBP4 panel and lanes 3, 4, and 6 of the actin panel are the same. In the hPEBP4 panel of Fig. 2B, the last two lanes are the same. In the actin panel for the same figure, lanes 3 and 4 are duplicates and lanes 6 and 7 are duplicates. In Fig. 2C, lanes 3 and 4 of the actin panel are duplicates. Lanes 8 and 9 of the same panel are duplicates. Lanes 1 and 3 of the myc immunoblot in Fig. 3C are the same. The last lane of the actin immunoblot in Fig. 4A was reused in the first lane of the actin immunoblot in Fig. 4B. The first and last lanes of the Raf-1 immunoblot in Fig. 4C are the same. A portion of the FACS plot shown in the top middle panel of Fig. 5A was reused in the bottom left panel. The lower phospho-JNK band in lanes 5 and 12 in Fig. 6A are the same. Lanes 6 and 7 of the actin immunoblot were reused in lanes 10 and 11.The withdrawing authors do not agree with some of the Journal's analyses and state that their analysis shows differences in some of the concerned bands that exclude reuse of the same bands. The withdrawing authors state that they repeated all of the relevant experiments...
