The authors note that HSG cells are a standard reference cell line from human salivary gland. Please be aware that HSG is known to be cross-contaminated with HeLa (cervical carcinoma). It is possible that some authentic stocks exist; authentication testing using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling will allow the authors to compare their stocks to others held at Biological Resource Centers worldwide. For a database of known cross-contaminated cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
