Hapten-carrier conjugates capable of eliciting anti-hapten antibodies in vivo by administering, in a therapeutic composition, are disclosed. Methods of preparing said conjugates and therapeutic compositions are also disclosed. Where the hapten is a drug of abuse, a therapeutic composition containing the hapten-carrier conjugate is particularly useful in the treatment of drug addiction, more particularly, cocaine addiction. Passive immunization using antibodies raised against conjugates of the instant invention is also disclosed. The therapeutic composition is suitable for co-therapy with other conventional drugs.
The present invention provides compositions comprising a conjugate of a hapten with a carrier in an ordered and repetitive array, and methods of making such compositions. The conjugates and compositions of the invention may comprise a variety of haptens, including hormones, toxins and drugs, especially drugs of addiction such as nicotine. Compositions and conjugates of the invention are useful for inducing immune responses against haptens, which can use useful in a variety of therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic regimens. In certain embodiments, immune responses generated using the conjugates, compositions and methods of the present invention are useful to prevent or treat addiction to drugs of abuse and the resultant diseases associated with drug addiction.

The present invention is based, in part, on flagellin adjuvants that enhance immune responses directed against drugs of abuse. Provided are conjugates comprising a flagellin adjuvant covalently linked to a drug of abuse or an immunologically similar derivative thereof. Also provided are methods of making the conjugates of the invention and use thereof for administration to a subject, e.g., to produce an immune response in the subject against the drug of abuse, to prevent addiction to the drug of abuse in the subject, to reduce the effect of the drug of abuse in the subject, to reduce the level of the drug of abuse in the brain of the subject, and/or to reduce the addiction in the subject to the drug of abuse.
