293A human embryonic kidney subclone shows epithelial morphology, stable adenoviral E1 gene expression, ideal for adenovirus vector and viral assays.
293A is a subclone of human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cell line, originally derived from fetal kidney fibroblasts transformed with adenovirus type 5 (Ad5). This cell line exhibits epithelial-like morphology with adherent culture properties. These cells exhibit a flat, monolayer growth pattern. As the derivative of HEK293, 293A stably retains adenoviral E1 gene integration, enabling constitutive expression of E1A and E1B proteins essential for recombinant adenovirus propagation. Additionally, these cells express integrin subunits αv and β1, which likely mediate their adhesion properties. The genetic and morphology features of 293A cell line make it particularly valuable for viral plaque assays and adenovirus vector development.

293A cells are a powerful platform for the streamlined production, amplification, and titration of recombinant adenovirus vectors, especially those that are replication-incompetent. Their stable expression of adenoviral E1 proteins supports high-efficiency viral packaging, making them essential for researchers engaged in gene therapy, vaccine development and viral vector engineering. 293A is widely used in transfection assays and is ideal for precise screening and optimization of adenoviral constructs in both biomedical research and preclinical development.
