The Charon .lambda. bacteriophages were developed as vectors for cloning. Their construction incorporates mutations that make them simple to use and also greatly increases their safety for the biological containment of cloned recombinant DNA. Three of the Charon vector phages, 3A, 4A and 16A, are certified for use as EK2 [biological containment level 2] vector-host systems, when propagated in bulk in a special bacterial host, [Escherichia coli] DP50SupF. Some data are presented on which the safety of these systems was evaluated. DNA fragments ranging in size from 0-2.2 .times. 104 base pairs can be cloned in these EK2 Charon phages.
