This kit enables detection of cellular senescence by staining senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity. It allows clear visualization of senescent cells in cultured cells or tissue samples.
Applications
Functional Studies, Senescence
Assay Type
Semi-Quantitative
Principle of Assay
This assay detects senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity at pH 6, a characteristic feature of senescent cells. Stained senescent cells can be visualized by standard light microscopy.
