Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A human diploid cell culture line is composed of fibroblasts derived from the lung tissue of a 14 week old aborted Caucasian male fetus. This can be processed into either as inactivated poliovirus vaccine or oral poliovirus vaccine to control and prevent poliomyelitis.
