Abstract
Disclosed herein is a synthetic senescent cell antigen comprised of purified peptides immunoreactive with antibodies to the naturally occurring antigen. Preferably, the synthetic senescent cell antigen comprises two peptides with the amino acid sequences SKLIKIFQDHPLQKTYN and LFKPPKYHPDVPYVKR, respectively. The antigen and peptides may be used in compositions, diagnostic kits, and methods for detecting or measuring antibodies to senescent cell antigen, studying cellular aging and autoimmune mechanisms, separating anions from a gas or liquid, or treating certain diseases.
