The authors use a panel of cell lines for this work. Please be aware that KB is not epidermoid carcinoma; the KB cell line is known to be cross-contaminated with HeLa, which also appears in their panel. It is also important to test lab stocks to be sure they are not cross-contaminated, using an accepted method such as short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. For a list of known cross-contaminated cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
