Description

PA1-75457 specifically detects Tetrahydrocannabinol. PA1-75457 has been successfully used in ELISA applications. The PA1-75457 immunogen is THC(9)-BSA.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is found in the cannabis sativa L. plant, with potential anti-emetic, analgesic and appetite stimulating activities. Upon administration, dronabinol, also called delta-9-THC, targets and binds to cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) located in the central nervous system (CNS). Dronabinol acts directly on the appetite and vomiting control centers in the brain to stimulate appetite and prevent emesis. In addition, this agent induces analgesia. Urine levels may be used as a marker to determine the exposure to certain preparations containing parts of the cannabis plant, such as marijuana. [National Center for Biotechnology Information.
