Fig. 1. Gating strategies for lymphoid and myeloid populations in spleen and bone marrow samples from mice (A) and quantification of the proportion of SA-β-Gal-positive cells within each analyzed population (B). The histogram on the right shows SPiDER fluorescence intensity in the 488-530/30 nm detection channel for the FMO control (without fluorogenic substrate) and the positive control (Control+, without bafilomycin A1)
Fig. 2. Proportions of lymphoid and myeloid populations in spleen (A) and bone marrow (B) samples. Additionally, the frequency of senescent-like cells positive for the SA-β-Gal marker in spleen (C) and bone marrow (D) is shown. Abbreviations: DC — dendritic cells; GrC — granulocytes; Mon — monocytes; Mph — macrophages; DN – double-negative T cells. Group comparisons were performed usin the Mann–Whitney U-test. Data are presented as Me ± interquartile range (IQR); * — p < 0.05, * * — p < 0.01, * * * — p < 0.001
