Anti-Tetrahydrocannabinol Antibody [THC3] (A281827)

Anti-Tetrahydrocannabinol Antibody [THC3]

Mouse monoclonal [THC3] antibody to Tetrahydrocannabinol.

This antibody recognises Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive substance found in Cannabis sativa. THC binds to cannabinoid receptor 1 mainly in the central nervous system and cannabinoid receptor 2 mainly in the immune system, partially activating them. It has mild analgesic effects and research indicates that it may be beneficial to AIDS and cancer patients by increasing appetite and decreasing nausea. THC might also reduce tumor size in cancers, and reduce plaque formation in Alzheimer’s disease. As such, there is some support for using marijuana (the flowering tops of the female plant) medically.Potential negative side effects include short-term memory loss, psychosis, cardiac and cerebral abnormalities, coma and death. Marijuana might increase an individual’s probability of more detrimental drug use.Marijuana is one the most commonly used illegal substances. As a street drug it is sold as hashish (the plant resin) or marijuana. It is most commonly smoked in cigarette or pipe form, but can also be ingested in cake form or injected intravenously. Pure THC is seldom available on the black market.
