RETRACTION Controversy has surrounded several recent papers from Dr. Friedhelm
Herrmann's laboratories in Berlin and Ulm, Germany. Following the
discovery that some of the data in a paper appearing in 1996 in the
Journal of Experimental Medicine were fabricated, suspicion over other papers from this group was raised. Subsequently, some, but
not all, coauthors on many of the group's papers, including several
published in BLOOD, have requested that their names be removed
from the work(s). The authors' requests and our own review of the
German Joint Commission's report on the matter have led the Editor to
conclude that data was indeed falsified. As a result, the BLOOD
Journal regrets to inform its readers that the following publications
have been retracted:
