Experimental fentanyl vaccine stops the drug from entering the brain (2 minute read)

A new vaccine developed by a team led by the University of Houston blocks fentanyl's effect on the brain. It uses a fentanyl-like molecule which elicits the production of antibodies that bind to it when combined with a larger carrier protein. The resulting antibodies bind to both the fentanyl-like molecules and actual fentanyl molecules. The antibodies leave all other molecules alone, making other types of opioids still effective for pain relief.
