Description
Senescence is considered to be the tumor suppressor mechanism and the root cause of Senescence. Senescence represents a state of stagnation in which cells remain viable, but are not stimulated to divide by serum or passage in culture. Senescent cells show increased cell size, β-galactosidase (SA-Beta-Gal) activity and senescence-related expression and changes in gene expression patterns. The senescence detection kit is designed to detect SA-Beta-Gal activity in cultured cells by FACS fluorescence. SA-Beta-Gal is only found in senescent cells, and is not found in pre-senescence, resting or immortal cells.
