Immunoassay procedures, both enzyme immunoassay and radioimmunoassay, continue to be widely used to screen samples for recent marijuana use by analyzing the urine samples for 11-nor-.DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (11-nor-.DELTA.9-THC-9-COOH) (the major urinary metabolite of .DELTA.9-tetrahydrocannabinol [.DELTA.9-THC]). Using commercially available immunoassay reagents, the cross-reactivity of the antiserum utilized in Abbott''s TDx cannabinoid assay (a fluorescence polarization immunoassay) was evaluated. This cross-reactivity was evaluated against a group of cannabinoids and noncannabinoid phenolic constituents of Cannabis, some cannabinoid metabolites, and other agents that appear in normal urine samples. In general, the antiserum was equally reactive toward 11-nor-.DELTA.8-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid, its glucuronide, and the corresponding .DELTA.8-isomer, which was the acid moiety utilized in standards and controls of the assay prior to January, 1990. Reduced binding to the antiserum was observed with hydroxylated derivatives of .DELTA.9- and .DELTA.8-THC, and the other cannabinoids, in general, exhibited limited binding potentials towards the antibody. For the noncannabinoid constituents, no binding was observed at the highest concentrations evaluated (40 mg/L).
