er POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL SCHOOL Telegrams OSGRADMED CHISK LONDON Telephone SHEpherds Bush 1260 (4 lines) DUCANE ROAD LONDON W.1I2 Dear Josh., Here are the Hfr.H strains, though I expect you already have both of them. The SSB,- prototrophic strain is also Azs$ and is the parent strain of Wollman's non-lysogenic HfrH with which they did all their work. As you know,the most obvious difference between my Hfr and Cavalli's is that his does not transfer lamhda to the zygote as judged by zygotic induction. I have not been able to do any bench work for some time and have not checked on these strains,but I anticipate that they will be 0.K.
