The authors wish to alert readers of the above paper, which appeared in volume 34, part 2, pages 517–534, to the following:
Published DNA profiling data identified hTERT-EEC cells as misidentified MCF7 breast cancer cells (Korch et al. 2012; Gynecologic Oncology 127 241–248; doi:10.1016/j.ygyno.2012.06.017). We cannot exclude that the cells used in this paper are a MCF7 contamination and therefore advise caution in the interpretation of the data reported.
