| Category: | Other |
| Phenotype: | Aging |
| Experiment: | SA-β-gal activity assay |
| Description: | We observed that the infection of A549 and HEp-2 cells by HRSV induces the accumulation of senescent cells positive forSA-β-gal activity. This activity could also be detected in spontaneous syncytia of both immortalized cell lines ( 20-40%) but was greatly magnified in both mononuclear cells and syncytia upon HRSV infection. |
