Competing Interests
Potential conflicts of interest are that J.R. Graff and B.W. Konicek are employees of Eli Lilly and Company and are also on the patent for 4EASO (LY2275796). US Pat. No. 7601700 is the patent for LY2275796 with the title “modulation of eIF4E expression”. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. All other authors declare no potential conflicts of interest.
