Cell line C666-1 was a gift from Prof. Fei-Fei Liu, University of Toronto, Canada [CitationRef removed]. Cell line TW01 was supplied by Prof. Chin-Tarng Lin (National Taiwan University Hospital) [CitationRef removed]. Cell authentication was done using short tandem repeated profiles as described previously [CitationRef removed], and cell lines were tested at regular intervals by PCR to rule out mycoplasma contamination. The C17 cell line was authenticated by checking HLA class I alleles on PCR (A02.01/A26.01—B44.02/B51.01).
