Abstract

Foreign F'lac plasmid DNA which is introduced into potentially restricting E. coli recipient cells can be protected from restriction by preinfecting the recipient cells with UV-inactivated T3 or T7 bacteriophages which express the ocr gene function. The recipient cells survive and are able to replicate themselves as well as the newly acquired plasmid.
