Abstract

With agreement from the corresponding author, the Editor-in-Chief retracts the article “Role of recombinant SXP/RAL-2 family protein Wuchereria bancrofti L₂ (rWbL₂) as vaccine candidate in lymphatic filariasis in mastomys”, Andure D et al. Int J Res Med Sci. 2016 Apr;4(4):1140-1146, DOI: 10.18203/2320-6012.ijrms20160798, due to the duplication of figure from other previously published article. Figure 3 was reused from Figure 2 in the article “Immunization with Wuchereria bancrofti Glutathione-S-transferase Elicits a Mixed Th1/Th2 Type of Protective Immune Response Against Filarial Infection in Mastomys”, Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, First online: 09 February 2016, DOI: 10.1007/s12291-016-0556-y. The corresponding author Dr. Dhananjay Andure has published it on his own without informing the co-authors and his guide.
