Abstract
Screening of compounds for activity toward inhibition of prostate cancer cell proliferation is provided. A cell line containing an expression construct comprising a transciptional initiation region of a prostate specific enhancer from a human glandular kallikrein (hKLK2) gene is employed which can be used in conventional equipment for determining activity of compounds, where the cell line uses a marker whose expression is responsive to therapeutically active compounds.
