  • Publication number: 20060029962
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for assaying an agent for TERT promoter modulatory activity are provided. In the subject methods, an agent is contacted with an expression system that includes a TERT promoter nucleic acid operably linked to a heterologous reporter nucleic acid. A feature of the expression system is that it is integrated into a carrier nucleic acid, e.g., a chromosome, in a manner such that it is known to be inactive under wild-type conditions but not positionally silenced. Also provided are compositions, systems and kits thereof, as well as devices, that find use in practicing the subject methods. The subject invention finds use in assaying agents for TERT promoter modulatory activity, such as in a high throughput format.
