Unfortunately many cell lines are misidentified and do not correspond to the tissue from which they were thought to be established. This is the case here: both HEp-2 and KB are cross-contaminated by HeLa, a cervical adenocarcinoma cell line. For a list of known cross-contaminated or otherwise misidentified cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
