Application

Application Comment Organism
molecular biology senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity is a widely used biomarker for assessing replicative sensescence in mammalian cells. Quantitative assay of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity in mammalian cell extracts. The assay is capable of detecting relatively subtle changes in activity and confirms that confluency and contact inhibition of growth can cause a small increase in the expression of this biomarker. The assay for measuring senescence-associated changes in beta-galactosidase is suitable for mechanistic studies of senescence regulation in which graduated changes in biomarker expression may be anticipated Homo sapiens
