Abstract
Peptide production in senescent and presenescent human foreskin fibroblasts was measured using 2βdimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This procedure permits the visualization of a cohort of the major peptides being produced. Among this cohort of over 500 peptides only two were found to differ in relative amount in that more was being produced in senescent cells. This difference was confirmed by measurements of the relative intensity of the peptide spot. This difference was senescent cellβspecific and not due to the differences in rate of growth of senescent and nonβsenescent cells.

Cytoplasmic extracts from early-passage (young), late-passage (senescent) normal human fibroblast (HF) cultures and immortalized human cell lines (HeLa, HT-1080, and MANCA) were analyzed for their ability to support semiconservative DNA synthesis in an in vitro SV40-ori DNA replication system.

An E-box (CACGTG) designer microarray was developed to monitor a group of genes whose expressions share a particular regulatory mode. Sensitivity and specificity of microarray hybridization, as well as variability of microarray data, were evaluated. This designer microarray was used to generate expr
