      This study uses HEp-2 to investigate the role of CUGBP1 in laryngeal cancer. Please be aware that HEp-2 is known to be cross-contaminated with HeLa, which is from cervical cancer. These results do not relate to laryngeal cancer.

      Laboratories can test their cell line stocks for cross-contamination using a consensus method such as short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. For a list of known cross-contaminated cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
