“Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College have successfully used a vaccine to produce a long-lasting anti-cocaine immunity in nonhuman primates. ‘The vaccine eats up the cocaine in the blood like a little Pac-man before it can reach the brain,’ the study’s lead investigator, Dr. Ronald G. Crystal, said in a news release.  Using PET imaging, Crystal and his colleagues found the vaccine prevented cocaine from reaching the brain. The vaccine stimulated the immune system to produce specific antibodies that attached themselves to cocaine molecules in the bloodstream. This prevented the drug from passing through the blood-brain barrier.”
