RETRACTED: Roxithromycin inhibits the effector phase of delayed-type hypersensitivity

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Chin. J. Clin. Pharmacol. Ther., 10 (2005) 382–386 and in Chin. J. Nat. Med., 3 (2005) 387–391. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
