Sensitive, fluorescence-based flow cytometry assay for β-galactosidase activity in senescent cells
The Invitrogen™ CellEvent™ Senescence Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit provides a robust and specific method for detecting cellular senescence in mammalian cells via β-galactosidase hydrolysis. This fixed-cell assay uses a fluorescein-based probe containing two galactoside moieties, making it a precise target for lysosomal β-galactosidase, a well-established biomarker of senescence.
Upon enzymatic cleavage, the probe produces a covalently bound, cell-retained fluorescent signal with excitation/emission maxima of 490/514 nm—readily detectable in the FITC channel of most flow cytometers. The optimized assay buffer ensures reliable staining and minimizes background, while the reagent’s spectral properties enable multi-color compatibility with other fluorescent probes.
Key Features
- Specific Detection – Targets β-galactosidase activity, a hallmark of senescent cells
- Flow Cytometry Optimized – Fixed-cell assay for accurate population analysis
- Bright & Stable Signal – Covalently retained fluorescence for consistent readouts
- Multiplex-Compatible – Works alongside other flow cytometry dyes without significant spectral overlap
- Convenient Kit Format – Includes all reagents and buffers needed for up to 200 assays
Applications
- Quantitative detection of senescent cell populations
- Cancer biology research on tumor suppression and progression
- Aging research and regenerative medicine studies
- Drug screening for compounds modulating senescence
- Multiparametric flow cytometry combining senescence and functional markers
