Marihuana-induced antibody response. 1976

C M Shapiro, and A R Orlina, and P J Unger, and M Telfer, and A A Billings

Utilizing an indirect Coombs' technique, humoral antibodies to marihuana and its major components were found in 34 subjects with known marihuana exposure. Similar antibodies were absent in the sera of a control population of 34 subjects with no known marihuana exposure. The specificity of the antibodies was confirmed by differential absorption studies in six seropositive subjects. Routine laboratory tests were abnormal in 22 of 34 seropositive subjects and in 9 of 34 control subjects. The relationship of seropositivity to abnormal laboratory tests is not certain.

D003298 Coombs Test A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies (the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.
