The suggestion here that Tan IIA might be an anticancer agent for oral cancer relies on a single cell line - KB. Unfortunately, KB has been shown to be cross-contaminated by HeLa and so is a misidentified cell line. KB cells are actually from cervical cancer, not oral cancer.
For a list of known misidentified cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
