New vaccine will rid you of nicotine dependence forever.

Scientists of Weill Cornell Medical College (New York) have declared about real breakthrough in struggle with dependences. In fact the case is about successful attempt to develop immunity to tobacco smoking. It appears after one-time introduction of new type vaccine in the body that was created with use of genetic engineering.

Anti-bodies on guard!

Vaccine operating principal development of which was financed by National Health Institute and National cancer research Foundation is based on fact that liver begins release anti-bodies against nicotine. Nicotine is neutralized with anti-bodies right after it enters the blood without managing to rich together with blood flow not only brain but also heart.

Innovation consists in the type of new vaccine. Today in medicine are widely used two vaccine types - active and passive. However they appeared to be not effective in struggle with tiny nicotine molecule: it is not recognized by immune system and that is why it cannot be "build in" in active vaccine, but anti-bodies of passive vaccine have effect for a short period of time.
