Retraction of the Research Article “SARS-CoV-2 S2–targeted vaccination elicits broadly neutralizing antibodies”
After an investigation, the Francis Crick Institute has concluded that fabricated data are present in Fig. 2, B and C, and that falsified images are present in fig. S6. The investigation concluded that the first author, Kevin W. Ng, was responsible for this, and he has admitted responsibility. Further, the existence of data fabrication casts doubt on some other experiments presented in the paper, for which primary data and samples are unavailable, precluding post hoc verification.
