The article titled “Human Recombinant Migration Inhibitory Factor Activates Human Macrophages to Kill Leishmania donovani” by Weishui Y. Weiser, Lu-Ann M. Pozzi, and John R. David, The Journal of Immunology, 1991, 147: 2006–2011 is hereby retracted.
On October 19, 1995, the Office of Research Integrity at the National Institutes of Health found that Weishu Y. Weiser, Ph.D., formerly of the Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, committed scientific misconduct by falsifying data in biomedical research supported by two Public Health Service grants. As a result, she agreed to submit a letter to The Journal of Immunology to retract this article. The offices of The Journal of Immunology have no record of receiving such a letter and hence the article is now being retracted.
