Description

2-(Ethylsulfonyl)ethanol is a chemical that has been shown to be efficient at transfection of cultured cells. It can be used as a substitute for the more commonly used, but toxic, sodium bisulfite in vitro assays. The binding affinity of 2-(Ethylsulfonyl)ethanol to DNA sequences is much higher than that of sodium bisulfite. This compound has been shown to enhance the efficiency of fluorescence-based detection and increase the stability of transfected plasmids. 2-(Ethylsulfonyl)ethanol may also be used as a chemotherapeutic treatment for influenza virus and other pathogens. Some monoclonal antibodies have been developed that bind to this compound, which may improve diagnosis and treatment of cancerous cells.
