General description

2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein is an oxidation-sensitive fluorescent probe. 2′7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate is oxidized to 2′7′-dichlorofluorescein in the presence of ROS (reactive oxygen species).citation

Application

2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein has been used as an oxidation-sensitive fluorescent probe to measure ROS (reactive oxygen species) formation in cells.

Rotavirus (RV) infection causes watery diarrhea via multiple mechanisms, primarily chloride secretion in intestinal epithelial cell. The chloride secretion largely depends on non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) enterotoxic activity in human enterocytes through mechanisms that have not been defined. Redox imbalance
