Figure 5. Melanocyte cultures contain about equal number of senescent cells regardless of culture conditions.
β-galactosidase assay was performed to detect senescent cells (blue cells) in the cultures. 3rd passage melanocytes cultured in Mel-mix medium (A), 3rd passage melanocytes cultured in M254 medium (B), 8th passage melanocytes cultured in Mel-mix medium (C), 8th passage melanocytes cultured in M254 medium (D). Bar: 100 µm.
