TETRAHYDROCANNABINOID- PROTEIN CONJUGATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ANTIBODIES FOR THE DETECTION OF TΕTRAHYDROCANNABINOID COMPONENTS IN SALIVA

摘要

The present invention is directed to Δ8-THC and Δ9-THC compounds useful for the covalent attachment to immunogenic molecules to form antigens for the preparation of specific binding molecules to Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinoids, Δ8-Tetrahydrocannabinol, and Δ8-Tetrahydrocannabinoids, and their derivatives and metabolites. The present invention is directed to the compounds, their method of preparation, cell lines producing the specific binding molecules, methods of using the antigens to produce the specific binding molecules, and test devices containing the antigens, haptens, or specific binding molecules of the invention.
