Abstract

There are many commercial ELISA and rapid test kits that have been used for blood screening; however, the kits can give false positive and negative results. Therefore, RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) - Dot Blot Hybridization based on radioisotope 32P (RDBR) method was developed in this research, to compare the method with the conventional RT-PCR and commercial ELISA Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit. This method is efficient for screening of large blood specimens and surveillance study. Eighty seven samples were used and serum of the samples were tested by ELISA to detect HIV-1. The HIV-1 RNA genome was extracted from plasma samples and tested using the RT-PCR and RDBR methods. Of 87 samples that were tested, the rates of positive testing of the RT-PCR, the RDBR, and the ELISA were 71.26%, 74.71%, and 80.46%, respectively. The RDBR (a combination of RT-PCR and dot blot hybridization) was more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR by showing 3.45% in increase number of positive specimens. The results showed that of 9 samples (10.34%) were negative RDBR and positive ELISA, while 4 samples (4.60%) werenegative ELISA and positive RDBR. The two methods showed slightly difference in the results but further validation is still needed. However, RDBR has highpotential as an alternative method for screening of blood in large quantities when compared to method of conventional RT-PCR and ELISA.

Abstract

Abstract :Microbiota present in human intestinal are diverse, and imbalance in composition of intestinal flora may cause diarrhea.This study aimed to obtain a profile of intestinal bacteria in children with and without diarrhea and assess their presence with incidence of diarrhea. An analitical descriptive with cross sectional design study was carried out. A stool specimen was collected from each children of 2-12 years old with and without diarrhea who lived in North Jakarta. DNA extraction was performed prior to detection of microbes using Polymerase Chain Ceaction/Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry.Eighty stool specimens consisted of 33 and 47 specimens from children with and without diarrhea were included in the study. Thirty single and 6 multiple matches were detected in 30 specimens of the diarrhea group; 28 single and 8 multiple matches were found in 34 specimens of the non-diarrhea.Escherechiacoli and Klebsiella pneumonia were predominant in both groups. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were deteced in the diarrhea group, while Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia were in the non-diarrhea. The relationship of incidence of diarrhea and the present of enteropathogens in the stool was not significant, however, there was a strong correlation of the risk of suffering diarrhea due to the presence of enteropathogens (OR = 0.724 with 95%, CI: 0.237-2.215).In conclusion, most bacteria detected in both groups were similar, nonetheless, Actinobacteria was present only in the non-diarrhea. The chance to have diarrhea was higher when enteropathogen was detected in the stool.

Abstract

Among influenza viral proteins, hemagglutinin 1 (HA1) is the target for neutralizing antibodies which inhibit virus binding to receptor of target cells. This protein is widely developed as subunit recombinant vaccine. In this research, we expressed HA1 protein recombinant from DKI271/2011 Indonesian strain in Pichia pastoris. The identity of this protein was confirmed by western blotting using anti-His T ag and mouse specific antibody HA H1N1pdm09. The use of yeast P . pastoris as an alternative strategy to solve the problems which commonly found in influenza vaccine productions. Expression protein in E. coli has been known to have many problems, while mammalian and insect cells requires special skills and relatively high cost. The analysis of HA1 gene sequences showed no mutation in epitope region which recognized by T dan B cells. Further, this recombinant protein can be used as vaccine candidate in influenza vaccine development.Keywords: Hemagglutinin; Pichia pastoris; vaccine; Influenza Virus; H1N1pdm09.
