#293cells have been used for decades, to grow Adenovirus in cell culture.. It's what's called a CONTINUOUS CELL LINE i.e. it can be propagated continuously via cell culture.
You need a cell culture to grow a virus, in this case an Adenovirus-based #SARSCoV2 vaccine candidate for the #COVID19Pandemic.
