Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active immunization involves introducing a harmless form of a disease-causing agent (such as a vaccine) to stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies against that agent. In the case of cocaine, a vaccine can be designed to cause the body to produce antibodies that bind to cocaine molecules and prevent them from crossing the blood-brain barrier and producing a psychotropic effect. This effectively decreases the reinforcement and addictive effects of cocaine.
