The KB cell line is often used to test therapeutic activity against cancer. But although KB comes from cancer, it is not oral squamous cell carcinoma. KB is known to be cross-contaminated with HeLa and is actually cervical adenocarcinoma. For a list of known cross-contaminated cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
