ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides isolated TNF-inducible promoter sequences, expression vectors containing such promoter sequences, host cells transfected with such expression vectors, as well as methods for using the promoters, vectors, and host cells for identifying candidate compounds for treating or preventing autoimmune disorders or cancer, or for identifying promoters that are regulated by tumor necrosis factor.
