Host-Controlled Modification and Restriction of Bacteriophage T7 by Escherichia coli B

Barnet Eskin 1, James A Lautenberger 1, Stuart Linn 1
PMCID: PMC355213  PMID: 4576514

Abstract

T7 phage resists Escherichia coli B host-controlled modification and restriction in vivo, but its DNA carries roughly five sites which are susceptible to the purified enzymes.
