An automatic transaction system has a cellular phone of a customer and an automatic teller machine (ATM) which can directly communicate with the cellular phone by infrared communication. When the customer performs a transaction by the ATM, transaction information such as transfer information registered in the cellular phone is directly inputted to the ATM and the ATM executes a transaction process by the transaction information which was directly received. When transaction data which is used in the transaction by the ATM is inputted once, transaction time in the ATM can be shortened by the simple operation.

A plasmid vector having components (D1), (D2), and (D3) enables the efficient integration of foreign DNA into host cells. The components are (D1) an integrase gene, (D2) a segment of DNA forming a region for controlling the expression of the integrase gene, and (D3) a segment of DNA serving as an integrase recognition region when integrase catalyzes the integration reaction.
