New Vaccine developed for Drug Abuse

Scientists are developing a vaccine that fades cocaine's psychotropic effects and can potentially favor in quitting its use. Researchers said they used a new approach, which harnesses a bacterial protein, 'flagellin' to trigger an immune system attack on cocaine if it enters the body. Researchers said that this response could dull cocaine's psychotropic effects. Vaccines can be designed to recruit the body's immune system to recognise non-microbial ...
