      Unfortunately KB cells do not come from oral squamous cell carcinoma. KB was shown to be cross-contaminated by Stanley Gartler in 1967; these cells are HeLa, from cervical carcinoma. For a database of cross-contaminated or otherwise misidentified cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
