Zusammenfassung:Hapten-carrier conjugates capable of eliciting anti-hapten antibodies in vivo are described. Methods of preparing said conjugates and therapeutic compositions are also described. Where the hapten is a drug of abuse, a therapeutic composition containing the hapten-carrier conjugate is particularly useful in the treatment of a drug addiction. The therapeutic composition is suitable for co-therapy with other conventional drugs. Passive immunization using antibodies raised against the hapten-carrier conjugates of the invention are also described.
