Effects of morphine-N-(ε-trifluoroacetylcaproyloxy) succinimide ester (TFCS)-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) immunization on heroin-induced reinstatement. (a) Experimental timeline. (b) Active nosepokes during acquisition, extinction, and reinstatement of heroin self-administration. The numbers of active nosepokes during acquisition and extinction were not significantly different between groups. Heroin-primed (0.5mg/kg) reinstatement was significantly inhibited in the morphine-TFCS-KLH group (n=11) compared with the KLH group (n=12) on days 10, 14, and 25 after the last immunization. (c) Inactive nosepokes during acquisition, extinction, and reinstatement were not significantly different between groups. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ***P < .001, compared with KLH group.
