Immunoassay method for detecting the presence of antibodies to intravenously injected oral medications

摘要

The steps of the method are preparing a specific antigen; intravenously injecting prescription medication initially intended for oral consumption into the blood stream of the patient, the prescription medication including an inert binder; creating unnatural antibodies in response to antigenic stimulation; drawing a blood sample from a patient; mixing the drawn blood sample with the prepared specific antigen; and determining the presence of a formation of an antibody-antigen complex indicative of medication initially intended for oral consumption intravenously injected into the blood stream of a patient.

主权项

1. A method for the detection of intravenous abuse of oral narcotic medication in a patient, the medication being initially intended for oral consumption, the method comprising, in combination, the steps of:
preparing a specific antigen derived from an inert binder; intravenously injecting prescription medication initially intended for oral consumption into the blood stream of the patient, the prescription medication including the inert binder; producing unnatural antibodies in the patient, and by the patient, in response to antigenic stimulation caused by the intravenous injection of the inert binder; drawing a blood sample from the patient; mixing the drawn blood sample with the prepared specific antigen; and detecting the presence of a formation of an antibody-antigen complex comprising the unnatural antibodies and the specific antigen indicative of intravenous abuse of medication intended for oral conception only.
