Identification of an intestine-specific promoter and inducible expression of bacterial α-galactosidase in mammalian cells by a <it>lac</it> operon system

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>α-galactosidase has been widely used in animal husbandry to reduce anti-nutritional factors (such as α-galactoside) in feed. Intestine-specific and substrate inducible expression of α-galactosidase would be highly beneficial for tran...
