The primary immunity determinant in modulating the lysogenic immunity of the filamentous bacteriophage cf.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage cf is the first single-stranded DNA phage that has been shown to set up a stable lysogenic state with its genome integrated into the host chromosome. From the isolation and characterization of a virulent mutant, cf-tv2, we report the first investigation into the mechanisms of the immunity established by the filamentous bacteriophage. The mutation in cf-tv2 enables the phage to produce plaques on...
