regexp replace result format

[v***@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com]

I want to change 9,999 to 9999 so I tried query-replace-regexp from
[0-9],[0-9][0-9][0-9] to [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] and got a literal replacement.

What do you do to get it to repeat the original?

Call it "remove thousands separator"

I thought of using "&", no luck

Replace:

\([0-9]\),\([0-9][0-9][0-9]\)

With:

\1\2
