TA-CD (Cocaine Conjugate Vaccine)
Cocaine is a substance of abuse whose primary sites of action in the brain have been identified as the monoamine neurotransmitter transporters for dopamine (DAT), serotonin (SERT) and norepinephrine (NET). DAT, SERT and NET regulate the amount of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine available for signal transduction by removing excess monoamine from the synapse back to the presynaptic neuron. Cocaine is able to bind to these transporters and causes a blockade in neurotransmitter reuptake by the presynaptic neuron, thus prolonging neurotransmitter availability in the synaptic cleft. This leads to excessive activation of the postsynaptic neuron, as a consequence of increased binding of the neurotransmitters to their respective receptors, which is manifested as cocaine-induced reward/reinfo… (More)
