Scientists working in this area may not be aware that many cell lines are cross-contaminated (overgrown by other cell lines) and no longer correspond to the expected cell type. The KB cell line is cross-contaminated with HeLa (cervical cancer) and is not oral cancer. For a list of known cross-contaminated cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
