Cannabinoid (THC)-Delta 9 BSA Antigen

This BSA-conjugated Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) antigen from Antibodies.com is prepared to support immunoassay development and antibody production targeting the principal psychoactive cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa. The Delta-9 hapten is covalently coupled to bovine serum albumin, creating a high-molecular-weight immunogen that adsorbs efficiently onto polystyrene microplates and serves as a coating reagent in competitive binding studies.

Each vial contains 1 mg of the liquid antigen-BSA conjugate, supplied ready to dilute for ELISA plate coating, spiking experiments, and assay calibration. The BSA carrier exposes multiple lysine residues for hapten attachment, supporting reproducible presentation of the cannabinoid moiety and consistent binding kinetics from batch to batch.

Common research applications include:

• ELISA plate coating for anti-THC antibody screening
• Competitive immunoassay standard in forensic and clinical research
• Immunogen for polyclonal and monoclonal antibody generation
• Reference material for cannabinoid testing method development

Recommended handling: aliquot upon receipt to limit freeze-thaw cycles, store frozen at -20 degrees C, and protect from light to preserve antigen activity. Intended for research use only.
