The authors have decided to retract their article entitled “Preliminary comparing the toxicities of the hybrid cry1Acs fused with different heterogenous genes provided guidance for the fusion expression of Cry proteins” in World J Microbiol Biotechnol (2012 Jan; 28(1):397–400).

Upon executing further experiments, it has been found that neither of the two fused hybrid Cry1Ac proteins had a statistically significant increase in the toxicity in comparison with Cry1Ac protein. The difference between the toxicities of the two hybrid Cry1Ac proteins was also statistically insignificant.
