Provided are compositions and methods for identifying agents that can modulate expression of the human survivin gene. The compositions include eukaryotic cells that contain a human survivin promoter sequence operably linked to a reporter gene. The method comprises determining whether a test agent can modulate transcription from a human survivin promoter sequence by adding a test agent to eukaryotic containing a human survivin promoter sequence operably linked to a reporter gene, measuring expression of the reporter gene and comparing expression of the reporter gene from to a control, wherein an increase or decrease of expression of the reporter gene relative to the control is indicative that the test agent can modulate transcription from a human survivin promoter. The method also comprises the use of SPlucTg mice for preclinical drug identification, including testing of candidate drug toxicity and efficacy.
