The Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised regarding the alleged duplication of features in Figure 1A. Specifically, panel B7-H1 and B7-H4, row A, Cancer tissue, appears to show duplicated regions.

The authors did not respond to our queries regarding the alleged duplication, nor did they provide original data for their study. The Editor requested to retract the article and the authors were notified of this.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
