I don’t see how an IMMUNE type test could test for lsd?
Best answer:
Answer by Tim
Immunoassay tests test for the presence of antigens in the blood. I’d guess that lsd produces some kind of an immune response in the body, resulting in lsd-specific antigens floating around in the blood. That would ring up a “positive” response in an immunoassay.
Just a guess!
What do you think? Answer below!
Enzyme linked immunosorbant assay, E.L.I.S.A.), uses a reagent that is comprised of an immune chemical (that attaches to L.S.D. and a ligand that reacts with reagent that then changes the color of the positive complex, thus indicating L.S.D.’ presence. That complex often has a chemical moiety that helps the complex to attach to a substrate. Like paper or beads etc.
The immuno portion is derived from antibodies that have raised in a labortaory animal that has been challenged with L.S.D. or other desired chemical. The antibodies are extraxxted and treated in order that it can be able to becoml part of the complex (described above).
