Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for identifying a drug candidate for enhancing expression of p21cip1/waf1 in a human patient suffering from a medical condition that can be treated by enhancing expression of p21Cφ1/waf1. The method includes (a) providing a cell line comprising a nucleic acid sequence that comprises a p21cip1/waf1 promoter operationally ligated to a reporter domain; (b) exposing the cell line to a compound; and (c) identifying a compound that induces expression of the reporter domain. The compound that induces expression of the reporter domain is a drug candidate for treating a medical condition that can be treated by enhancing expression of p21cip1/waf1.

First claim
