  • Title: delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol by GLC-MS validated radioimmunoassays of hemolyzed blood or serum.
    Author: Yeager EP, Goebelsmann U, Soares JR, Grant JD, Gross SJ.
    Journal: J Anal Toxicol; 1981; 5(2):81-4. PubMed ID: 6264224.
    Abstract:
    A direct radioimmunoassay (RIA) of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC) in unextracted hemolyzed blood or serum is described. The dose-response curve in the range of 5-50 ng/mL (serum or blood) was linear on log-logit transformation and iterative weighted regression. Validation studies included testing for precision, accuracy and antibody specificity as well as confirmation of RIA results (marijuana smoker samples) by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GLC-MS). This routine method will greatly augment cannabinoid investigative programs.
