The Editor has retracted this article because it appears that some of the text and figures have been previously published by some of the same authors. Specifically:

  • there is substantial text overlap with results section in [1]

  • Figure 2B appears to present the same data as Fig. 1C in [1]

  • It appears the same FACS plots have been presented in Fig. 3B (for srfn, poly (I:C) and control) as in Fig. 4A in [1]

  • Figure 3C (sifn and Poly(I:C) ) and 3D appear to show the same images as those published previously in [1] in Fig. 3A

Author Yu-Yin Xu does not agree to this retraction. None of the other authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction
