Abstract

We wish to retract this article due to the confirmed scientific misconduct of Karel Bezouška. Based on the results of investigation of a joint ethical committee established by the Institute of Microbiology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, we can conclude that experiments describing binding of natural killer cell receptors to carbohydrate ligands were manipulated by Karel Bezouška. Therefore all authors, except L.M. who cannot be traced, agreed on the retraction of this paper. We apologize to all affected parties.
