13. A method of growing and propagating an isolated non-group C adenoviral vector stock in the absence of a helper virus which method comprises
contacting a cell of a cell line that is capable of complementing the replication of a group C adenovirus that is deficient in at least the E1A region of the adenoviral genome with a non-group C adenovirus deficient in at least the E1A region of the adenoviral genome.
