Anti-cocaine vaccines show promise against addiction

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Judy Keen

A recent study demonstrated that conjugation of cocaine analogs to adenoviral protein particles resulted in the successful induction of an immune response that was able to successfully sequester the cocaine in the bloodstream, preventing it from affecting the brain. Similar … Continue reading →
