"ABSTRAKUji Western blot masih menjadi gold standard untuk konfirmasi diagnosis infeksi HIV yang memerlukan ketiga protein utama HIV, yaitu env, pol, dan gag. Kekurangan pada uji ini yaitu kemungkinan adanya kontaminasi dengan protein selular manusia serta pembuatannya yang relatif mahal. Selain itu, diversitas HIV-1 yang tinggi menyebabkan uji western blot menjadi kurang sensiftif. Penggunaan antigen rekombinan yang imunodominan dan lestari menjadi alternatif lain. Uji RIBA Recombinant Immunoblot Assay pada penelitian ini menggunakan antigen rekombinan dari keempat subtipe HIV-1 yang dominan di Indonesia, yaitu subtipe CRF01_AE, B, CRF02_AG, dan C. Antigen rekombinan Gag p24 , Pol IDR , Env gp41 IDR diekspresikan pada sistem ekspresi E.coli dan dipurifikasi menggunakan kromatografi Ni-NTA. Antigen rekombinan yang telah dimurnikan dilihat reaktivitasnya terhadap sampel serum pasien dengan HIV-AIDS sebanyak 50 sampel dan non HIV-AIDS 45 sampel. Sebanyak 21 sampel HIV-AIDS dan 3 sampel non HIV-AIDS dilakukan uji menggunakan kit Western blot MP Diagnostics HIV blot 2.2 sebagai perbandingan terhadap uji RIBA yang menggunakan metode Western blot. Hasil perbandingan memperlihatkan hasil uji RIBA memiliki reaktivitas yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan hasil uji kit MP Diagnostics HIV Blot 2.2 dengan persentase reaktivitas terhadap protein p24 95,2 20/21 , protein Pol 85,7 18/21 , dan protein gp41 100 21/21 . Pada uji RIBA, 5 sampel tidak menunjukkan reaktivitas terhadap antigen rekombinan Pol IDR dan 4 sampel tidak menunjukkan reaktivitas terhadap antigen rekombinan Gag p24 . Seluruh sampel menunjukkan reaktivitasnya terhadap antigen rekombinan Env gp41 IDR . Penelitian mengenai uji RIBA ini dapat dikembangkan untuk uji diagnostik HIV-1 dengan subtipe-subtipe HIV-1 yang banyak ditemukan di Indonesia.

ABSTRACTern blot test is still the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis of HIV 1 infection. This test requires three core of HIV proteins, i.e., env, pol, and gag. Nevertheless, this test has several disadvantages, mainly in possibility of contamination with human cellular proteins as well as production cost is relatively expensive. In addition, the high diversity of HIV 1 may causes Western blot test to be less sensitive. Another method that can be used to overcome these obstacles is the use of immunodominant region and conserved region of recombinant antigen in the assay, also known as RIBA Recombinant Immunoblot Assay . In this research, recombinant antigens were derived from the four subtypes of HIV 1 that are dominant in Indonesia, which are CRF01 AE subtype, B subtype, CRF02 AG subtype, and C subtype. The recombinant antigens comprises Gag p24 , Pol IDR , Env gp41 IDR . Each of antigens was expressed in E. coli expression system and purified using Ni NTA chromatography. Reactivity test of purified antigen was done against a group consist 50 serum samples with HIV AIDS and 45 serum samples without HIV AIDS. Twenty one samples with HIV AIDS and 3 samples without non HIV AIDS test were done using Western blot kit MP Diagnostics HIV blot 2.2 too as a comparison toward the RIBA test that using Western blot method. The results showed that RIBA test had better reactivity than kit test with reactivity percentage toward p24 95,2 20 21 , Pol 85,7 18 21 , and gp41 100 21 21 . RIBA test results performed 5 samples with negative reactivity toward recombinant antigens Pol IDR and 4 samples with negative reactivity toward recombinant Gag antigen p24 . All the samples had positive reactivity toward recombinan recombinant antigen Env gp41 IDR . As diagnostic kit, this RIBA test shows broad possibility for development in diagnosis HIV 1 infection especially with HIV 1 subtypes that circulate in Indonesia."

Introduction: Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is common in post TB patients. Faster and more sensitive Aspergillus serological examination is necessary for CPA diagnosis. This study compared automated ELISA and immunochromatography test for Aspergillus specific antibody detection in post pulmonary TB patients.

Method: This cross-sectional study is part of previous research on CPA diagnosis in tuberculosis. Patient’s sera were tested with automated ELISA and immunochromatography test. The results were compared to CPA diagnosis to obtain diagnostic performances. The agreement between tests was analyzed with Cohen’s kappa.

Result: There were 68 previous TB patients with median age 34,5 (17-72) years old. CPA was diagnosed in 24 patients (35,3%). The positive result of automated ELISA and immunochromatography test were 48,5% and 2,9%. Automated ELISA showed sensitivity of 97%, specificity of 75%, PPV of 66,7%, and NPV of 94,3%. The immunochromatography test showed sensitivity of 8,3%, specificity and PPV of 100%, and NPV of 66,7%. There was very low agreement between tests (kappa score: 0,062).

Conclusion: Automated ELISA Aspergillus specific IgG could be utilized for supporting CPA diagnosis in post TB patients, mainly in settings where resources are available. Immunochromatography test is applicable as an early screening tool for CPA detection in resource-constrained areas."

"AbstrakBACKGROUND:Black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is one of the common causes of shellfish allergy that is increasing worldwide. One of the important problems in the management of shellfish allergy is the lack of accurate diagnostic assay because the biological and immunological properties of allergens in black tiger shrimp have not been well characterized. This study aims to detect proteins with the ability to bind and cross-link immunoglobulin E (IgE) from black tiger shrimp by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot, and a humanized rat basophilic leukemia reporter cell line RS-ATL8.METHODS:Sera from shrimp allergic subjects were subjected to ELISA and Western blots using raw or cooked shrimp extract as antigens. Pooled sera were used to sensitize the RS-ATL8 reporter cell line and cells were activated by shrimp extract. Eluted protein extracts separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were tested on the RS-ATL8 cell line and subjected to mass spectrometry to identify potential candidate allergens.RESULTS:Allergic sera reacted stronger to raw shrimp extract than cooked shrimp extract (P=0.009). Western blot demonstrated that major IgE reactivity protein bands were at 32-39 kDa and 91-230 kDa in both raw and cooked shrimp extracts. The eluted protein bands at the molecular weight of 38 and 115 kDa from raw shrimp extract induced IgE cross-linking as assayed by the RS-ATL8 cell line. These protein bands were subjected to mass spectrometry for analysis. Ubiquitin-activating enzyme and crustacyanin were identified as potential candidate novel shrimp allergens.CONCLUSIONS:The RS-ATL8 reporter cell line can be used to identify potential new shrimp allergens that can functionally cross-link IgE and induce mast cell degranulation."
