Description
Principle of the Assay: Senescence beta-Galactosidase Staining Kit is a kit for staining and detecting senescent cells or tissues based on the up-regulation of senescence-related beta-galactosidase activity level during aging. With X-Gal as the substrate, under the condition of pH 6.0, the senescent beta-galactosidase catalyzes the formation of dark blue products. So that cells or tissues expressing beta-galactosidase that turned blue were observed under an optical microscope. This kit is suitable for the detection of senescence in cultured cells and tissue sections. It only stains senescent cells, and does not stain pre-senescence cells (senescent cells), quiescent cells (static cells), immortal cells (immortal cells) or tumor cells
