WASHINGTON . Vaccines that can help people fight addictions to harmful drugs such as nicotine and methamphetamine could be available to the public within two or three years, four leading drug abuse researchers told a congressional briefing this week. The researchers said they all had developed Vaccines that work in the same basic way. In a cocaine vaccine, for example, cocaine molecules are attached to harmful bacteria, which is then introduced into the bloodstream. The body makes antibodies for the cocaine; if any subsequent cocaine molecules enter the body, the antibodies prevent them from reaching the brain, neutralizing the drug's effect. The researchers said users of the harmful drugs would eventually learn that there was no longer a reward for taking them, and they would stop using them. .Eventually, they couldn't afford enough cocaine to overcome the antibodies,. said Thomas Kosten, psychiatry and neuroscience professor at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. ...

Stanford researchers have developed a way to rapidly make a cheap vaccine from plants . So far the vaccine they have produced is for treating a specific cancer, and involves taking some of the patients own unique antibodies they are producing naturally to try and fight the disease, then adapting them to a virus that they infect the plant with, the plant in turn produces tremendous quantities of the antibody "vaccine", which can then be extracted and used in treatment. There are no side effects as with conventional chemotherapy and they think this procedure can be extended into other diseases. ...
