Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Guidelines (the following is our recommended protocol; this protocol is provided for guidance only and should be modified according to your specific needs).
Assay of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-βG) activity[1].
The cells (5×103 cells per well) are cultured in a 96-
well plate.
Wash with PBS.
Fixed for 5 min in 2% formaldehyde and 0.2% glutaraldehyde buffered with PBS.
Washing thrice in PBS.
An aliquot (100 μL) of the reaction buffer (i.e., the staining solution without X-Gal) is added into each well (containing 3.7 mL 0.2 M citric acid, 6.3 mL 0.4 M Na2HPO4 (citrate-phosphate buffer), 1 mL 100 mM potassium ferricyanide, 1 mL 100 mM potassium ferrocyanide, 0.6 mL 5 M NaCl, 0.2 mL 0.2 M MgCl2, and 7.2 mL deinozied water in a total volume of 20 mL is used) .
10 μL of 2 mM FDG is added per well and the plate was incubated in the dark at 37°C for 24 h without CO2 supply.
The fluorescein fluorescence was measured using a fluorometer (Ex/Em = 485/535 nm).

Protocol
Cell Assay[1]
The cells (5×103 cells per well) are cultured in a 96-well plate overnight for attachment, washed, and then fixed in solutions. An aliquot (100 μL) of the reaction buffer (i.e., the staining solution without X-Gal) is added into each well. Then, 10 μL of 2 mM Fluorescein di(β-D-galactopyranoside) is added per well and the plate is incubated in the dark at 37°C for 24 h without CO2 supply. After incubation at 37°C for 24 h, 100 μL of the supernatant is transferred to a 96-well plate for fluorescent measurement in triplicates. The fluorescein fluorescence is measured using a fluorometer with an excitation at 485 nm and an emission at 535 nm[1].
