Pendahuluan: Infeksi dengue merupakan salah satu penyakit endemik di daerah tropis dan subtropis yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue (DENV). Hingga saat ini belum ada antiviral yang efektif untuk infeksi dengue. Penyebaran dan sirkulasi serotipe DENV berfariasi di setiap lokasi geografi, hal ini menyulitkan dalam melakukan evaluasi vaksin DENV. Oleh karena itu perlu dikembangkan kandidat vaksin DENV menggunakan strain Indonesia supaya dapat memberikan proteksi maksimal. Pada peneltian ini dikembangkan kandidat vaksin DNA tetravalen DENV berbasis gen prM-E DENV strain Indonesia. Metode: Konstruksi plasmid rekombinan kandidat vaksi dilakukan dengan cara menyisipkan gen prM-E setiap serotipe DENV ke dalam vektor pUMVC4a. Gen prM-E DENV merupakan strain Indonesia, yang diamplifikasi dari serum pasien yang terinfeksi dengan virus ini. Kemampuan plasmid rekombinan mengekspresikan protein prM-E DENV diuji di sel mamalia. Kemampuan kandidat vaksin menginduksi respon imun humoral dievaluasi secara monovalen dan tetravalen di mencit jenis ddY. Titer IgG anti dengue diperiksa menggunakan teknik ELISA, sedangkan titer antibodi netralisasi di tentukan dengan uji FRNT. Proteksi vaksin terhadap mencit yang diimunisasi dievaluasi dengan melakukan uji tantang menggunakan sel K562 yang diinfeksi DENV-2. Viremi virus di tentukan dengan menggunakan teknik foccus assay. Hasil: Konstruksi plasmid rekombinan kandidat vaksin DENV-1 dan DENV-3 sudah berhasil dilakukan. Plasmid dapat mengekspresikan protein prM-E DENV di sel mamalia, namun karakteristik dan kinetik protein masih belum dapat diketahui dengan jelas. Keempat kandidat vaksin DNA yang sedang dikembangkan dapat menginduksi respon imun, baik secara monovalen maupun tetravalen. Imunisasi secara tetravalen dapat memberikan proteksi pada mencit yang diuji tantang dengan sel K562 yang diinfeksi dengan DENV-2.;

Tuberkulosis (TB) merupakan penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh kuman Mycobacterium tuberkulosis. WHO memperkirakan lebih dari sepertiga populasi di dunia terinfeksi oleh kuman ini dengan angka kematian mencapai 1.3 juta orang per tahunnya. Usaha pencegahan terhadap TB sangat penting, salah satunya melalui penggunaan vaksin. Vaksin BCG adalah satu satunya vaksin TB yang ada dan digunakan saat ini, walaupun demikian vaksin ini memiliki beberapa kekurangan diantaranya daya proteksi yang berbeda pada setiap individu, tidak memberikan perlindungan dari infeksi TB paru serta perlindungan dari reaktivasi infeksi TB laten. Hal ini mendorong dikembangkannya alternatif vaksin selain vaksin BCG. Protein RpfD M. tuberculosis merupakan protein berukuran 16 kDa yang diekspresikan pada tahapan resusitasi dan terbukti bersifat imunogenik serta telah banyak dikembangkan sebagai antigen TB untuk tujuan vaksin maupun diagnostik. Penelitian ini mengkaji mengenai respon imunitas humoral yang diberikan oleh plasmid rekombinan pcDNA3.1-rpfD menitik beratkan pada sub-kelas imunoglobulin-G (IgG) pada hewan coba mencit Balb/C melalui pendekatan metode serologi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa sub-kelas IgG2a merupakan respon IgG tertinggi yang berhasil diinduksi oleh pcDNA3.1-rpfD yang mengindikasikan adanya potensi proteksi terhadap infeksi M.tuberculosis. ......Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. WHO predicts more than one-third of the worlds population is infected by this bacteria with mortality rate of 1.3 million per year. Therefore, prevention of tuberculosis is very important, one of which is through the use of vaccines. Now, the BCG vaccine is the only TB vaccine available and used, but the vaccine has disadvantages like doesnt provide pretection from pulmonary TB infection in adults as well as protection from reactivation of latent TB infection which encourages the development of TB vaccine alternative to BCG. The RpfD M. tuberculosis protein is a 16 kDa protein expressed at the resuscitation stage and immunogenic so it has been widely developed as a TB antigen for vaccine and diagnostic purposes. This study examines the humoral immune response induced by recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-rpfD (plasmid pcDNA3.1 that carries rpfD gene from M. tuberculosis Beijing strain, Aprilia, 2017), Immunoglobulin-G (IgG) subclasses were detected by serological method. The results of this study indicate that the IgG2a sub-class is the highest IgG response successfully induced by pcDNA3.1-rpfD which indicates the potential for protection against M. tuberculosis infection.

Latar Belakang : Penyakit demam dengue dan demam berdarah dengue yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di dunia. Hingga saat ini pengobatan spesifik serta vaksin untuk infeksi dengue belum tersedia, dan berbagai strategi pembuatan vaksin sedang dikembangkan oleh berbagai pihak. Sebagai salah satu negara endemis infeksi dengue, Indonesia juga perlu melakukan pengembangan vaksin dengue dengan menggunakan strain virus yang berasal dari Indonesia. Pada penelitian ini akan dikembangkan kandidat vaksin DNA rekombinan dengan gen insersi Premembran dan Envelope virus dengue tipe 2 sebagai bagian dari pengembangan vaksin dengue tetravalen di Indonesia. Metode : Plasmid DNA rekombinan dirancang mengandung gen premembran dan envelope dari virus dengue tipe 2 isolat Indonesia. Fragmen DNA diinsersi ke dalam vektor plasmid pUMVC4a serta ditransformasi ke dalam sel E.coli DH5-α. Klon plasmid yang didapat dikonfirmasi dengan metode PCR, enzim restriksi dan sekuensing. Ekspresi protein dari plasmid diuji melalui metode transfeksi pada sel Vero. Selanjutnya plasmid disuntikkan pada mencit jenis Balb/C sebanyak 3 kali dengan interval 3 minggu pada daerah intramuskular. Penyuntikan menggunakan 2 metode : suntikan intramuskular dengan jarum (IM) dan suntikan dengan menggunakan alat needle-free injector (NFI) dengan menggunakan 2 macam dosis plasmid, yaitu 25 μg dan 100 μg DNA. Pemeriksaan antibodi dilakukan dengan metode ELISA dan PRNT. Setelah fase imunisasi selesai, dilakukan uji tantang dengan menyuntikkan 2,5 x 105 PFU/ml DENV-2 secara intraperitoneal pada beberapa kelompok mencit untuk melihat pembentukan sel B memori. Data antibodi yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif dan analitik. Hasil : Plasmid rekombinan pUMD2 telah berhasil diperoleh. Transfeksi pada sel Vero menunjukkan adanya ekspresi protein intra dan ekstraselular melalui pemeriksaan imunostaining dan ELISA. Melalui pemeriksaan ELISA, antibodi terdeteksi hanya pada kelompok penyuntikan NFI (p<0,005). Titer antibodi tertinggi dijumpai pada kelompok penyuntikan dengan NFI dosis 100 μg , kemudian NFI 25 μg dengan perbedaan yang tidak bermakna (p>0,005) antara kedua kelompok tersebut. Melalui PRNT 70% ditemukan bahwa antibodi netralisasi terhadap DENV-2 terbentuk pada mencit yang diberi imunisasi dengan metode NFI, sedangkan pada kelompok IM titernya tidak terdeteksi (<1/10). Titer antibodi terbaik diperoleh pada kelompok penyuntikan NFI dosis 100 ug yaitu 1/80-1/160. Titer hari ke-4 dan 8 setelah penyuntikan 2,5 x 105 PFU/ml virus pada kelompok yang diimunisasi secara IM dan NFI mengalami peningkatan. Sebaliknya, pada kelompok yang tidak diberi virus tidak terdapat peningkatan titer netralisasi. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya pembentukan sel B memori dari imunisasi yang diberikan. Kesimpulan : Pembuatan plasmid rekombinan dengan gen insersi pre-M dan E DENV2 strain DS18/09 telah berhasil dilakukan. Terdapat respon antibodi netralisasi dan anamnestik dari mencit yang diberi imunisasi secara NFI, namun imunisasi secara IM hanya menunjukkan respon antibodi anamnestik dari sel memori. Plasmid DNA rekombinan ini memiliki potensi sebagai kandidat vaksin DNA terhadap virus dengue tipe 2. Perlu dilakukan penelitian selanjutnya berupa rancangan vaksin tetravalen dalam upaya pengembangan vaksin dengue secara menyeluruh.

ABSTRACT
Introduction : Dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever caused by dengue virus is still a major health problem. There are four types of Dengue virus which antigenically distinguished : DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4. Currently, no specific treatment for Dengue infection and no vaccine are available, and various strategies have been used to develop dengue vaccine. Indonesia as one of dengue-endemic country has to attempt dengue vaccine development particularly using Indonesian virus strain. In this study, recombinant DNA vaccine candidate using DENV-2 pre-membrane and envelope genes was constructed as a part of dengue tetravalent vaccine development in Indonesia. Methods : The recombinant plasmid consisting pre-membrane and envelope genes from DENV-2 Indonsia isolate was constructed. DNA fragment were inserted to pUMVC4a plasmid vector and then transformed to E. Coli DH5-α. The construction was confirmed using PCR, restriction enzyme and sequencing. Protein expressions of preM and E were determined by transfection into Vero cells. Group of Balb/C mice were injected with amount of plasmid via intra muscular route. The injection was conducted using 2 delivery methods : conventional syringe-needle (IM) and needle-free injector (NFI) device. Doses of plasmid that being compared are 25 μg and 100 μg. Mice were immunized with plasmid 3 times with 3 weeks interval. Antibody titre were determined by ELISA and PRNT. After immunization phase, part group of mice challanged with 2,5 x 105 PFU/ml DENV-2 intra peritoneally to confirm wether immunization induced memory cells. Antibody data were interpretated by descriptive and analytic methods Results : The recombinant plasmid pUMD2 has been constructed. Confirmation of gene secuence showed no mutation at the clone. Vero cells-81 transfected with pUMD2 expressed prM and E as determined by immunofluorescence staining as intracellular protein and by ELISA to detect extracellular protein. In ELISA results, antibody was detected only in NFI group (p<0,005). Highest antibody titre was found in NFI group with dose 100 μg followed by dose 25 μg. However, antibody titre by ELISA between NFI group dose 100 μg and 25 μg were not statistically significant (p>0,005). Neutralizing antibody by PRNT 70% showed concordant result compared to ELISA. Neutralizing titre to DENV-2 was developed in NFI group, but it was not detectable in IM group of mice (<1/10). The highest titre of neutralization achieved by 100 μg, NFI group whose titer 1/80-1/160. Immunized mice in all groups raised greater neutralizing antibody titers on days 4 and 8 after challange with 2,5 x 105 PFU/ml of DS 18/09 of dengue type 2 virus. Compared to immunized mice that were not challanged which developed no increasing neutralizing titre, it indicated that immunization could produced memory B cell responses. Conclusions : Recombinant plasmid as a candidate for dengue DNA vaccine has been constructed. The plasmid expressed premembrane and envelope proteins in Vero cells. Immunogenicity test from the plasmid DNA demonstrated neutralizing antibody responses and anamnestic responses in mice which immunized only by NFI method. IM injection method only showed anamnestic antibody responses. Overall, this DNA plasmid has a potency to be used as a candidate for DNA vacine against dengue virus type-2. Study for designing tetravalent vaccine model is necessary as a part in vaccine dengue development.

Latar belakang: Infeksi virus dengue masih menjadi masalah di negara tropis seperti Indonesia. Infeksi virus dengue menyebabkan mortalitas dan morbiditas yang tinggi. Belum ada obat ataupun vaksin yang telah disetujui penggunaannya dan tersedia di dunia untuk penyakit infeksi dengue. Pencegahan infeksi dengue masih terbatas pada pengendalian vektor nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Keempat serotipe virus dengue beredar di Indonesia. Dua genotipe dari virus dengue tipe 1 (DENV-1) yaitu genotipe I dan IV lebih dominan bersirkulasi di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2012, kami mengembangkan kandidat vaksin DNA DENV-1 pUMVC RDS 59/09. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kadar antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 yang dihasilkan mencit ddY setelah imunisasi sebanyak tiga kali dengan pUMVC RDS 59/09 dan untuk mengetahui kemampuan antibodi tersebut dalam menetralkan beberapa genotipe DENV-1 yang diisolasi di Indonesia. Metode: Penelitian eksperimental ini dimulai dari perbanyakan pUMVC RDS 59/09 di sel E.coli untuk mendapatkan konsentrasi yang tinggi. Imunisasi dilakukan pada 12 mencit strain ddY dengan pUMVC RDS 59/09 25 μg/100 μl menggunakan needle-free injector, sebanyak tiga kali dengan interval waktu 3 minggu. Sebanyak 12 mencit disediakan sebagai kontrol yang tidak diimunisasi. Antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 pada masing-masing serum mencit diperiksa dengan ELISA dan dibaca pada panjang gelombang 450 nm. Berikutnya, pooled serum mencit pasca imunisasi ke 3, digunakan untuk netralisasi 13 isolat DENV-1 dengan metode focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT). Fokus yang didapatkan dari FRNT diwarnai dengan tehnik imunoperoksidase dan dihitung secara manual. Hasil: Rerata nilai OD ELISA antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 dari serum mencit kelompok imunisasi yang diambil sebelum imunisasi, pasca imunisasi 1, pasca imunisasi 2 dan pasca imunisasi 3 adalah 0,329;0,843;1,524 dan 1,598, secara berurutan. Terdapat peningkatan nilai OD ELISA antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 dari pooled serum mencit kelompok imunisasi pasca imunisasi pertama, kedua dan ketiga dibandingkan dengan baseline. Titer FRNT antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 dari pooled serum mencit pasca imunisasi 3 dan pooled serum mencit kontrol terhadap strain DV-1 RDS 59/09 adalah 1/320 dan < 1/10. Titer FRNT 13 isolat DENV-1 oleh antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 dari pooled serum mencit pasca imunisasi 3 berkisar dari 1/320 sampai lebih dari 1/1280. Kesimpulan: Variasi genotipe DENV-1 tidak menyebabkan perbedaan titer antibodi netralisasi yang bermakna (p = 0,222), sehingga dapat diuraikan bahwa antibodi anti-membran dan envelop DENV-1 dapat menetralkan 13 isolat DENV-1 Indonesia yang diuji. ...... Introduction: Dengue virus infection is still a burden in tropical country such as Indonesia. Dengue virus infection causes high mortality and morbidity. No drugs or vaccines are approved and available in the world for this disease. Dengue prevention is still limited to vector control. Four dengue serotypes are circulated in Indonesia. Two genotypes of Dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1), namely genotypes I and IV are found predominantly in Indonesia. Previously in 2012, we constructed pUMVC RDS 59/09, the DENV-1 DNA vaccine candidate. The objective of this study is to assess antibody level produced in ddY strain mice after three times immunization with pUMVC RDS 59/09 and to assess the antibody ability to neutralize genotypes of DENV-1 isolated in Indonesia. Methods: This experimental study was started with propagation of pUMVC RDS 59/09 in E. coli cells to produce high concentration of the DNA. Immunization was carried out with 25 μg/ 100 μl pUMVC RDS 59/09 by needle-free injector, three times in 3 weeks interval. Twelve mice were provided for control without immunization. Anti-DENV-1 membrane and envelope antibody of individual sera were examined by ELISA and absorbance value was measured by ELISA reader in 450 nm wave length. Further, pooled sera of 3rd immunization were used to neutralize 13 DENV-1 isolates by focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT) method. The focus obtained in FRNT was stained by immune-peroxides technique and counted manually. Results: ELISA OD value mean of anti-DENV-1 membrane and envelope antibody in individual ddY mice sera of immunized group before immunization, post first immunization, after second immunization and post third immunization were 0.329; 0.843; 1.524 and 1.598, respectively. An increase in ELISA OD value of anti-DENV-1 membrane and envelope antibody in ddY mice pooled sera of immunized group after first, second and third immunization compared to baseline was observed. FRNT titre of anti-DENV-1 membrane and envelope antibody from third immunization pooled sera compared to control mice pooled sera in RDS 59/09 isolate neutralization was 1/320 compared to < 1/10. Neutralization titre of 13 DENV-1 isolates by anti-DENV-1 membrane and envelope antibody from third immunization pooled sera ranged from 1/320 to more than 1/1280. Conclussions: DENV-1 genotype variation did not lead to significant neutralization antibody titre difference (p = 0,222), so it can be explained that anti-DENV-1 membrane and envelope antibody was able to neutralize 13 strains of Indonesia DENV-1 isolates examined.

Fragmen DNA Hemaglutinin yang digunakan telah dioptimasi kodon dan dihilangkan bagian transmembrannya H5COP-TM. Vaksin DNA H5COP?TM dikonstruksi menggunakan vektor ekspresi pcDNA 3.1 dan hasil konstruksi setelah diverifikasi diuji ekspresi pada sel CHO. Mencit BALB/c berusia 8 minggu divaksinasi sebanyak tiga kali secara intramuskular dengan interval waktu 3 minggu untuk tiap vaksinasi. Darah mencit sebelum vaksinasi primer dan paska vaksinasi dikumpulkan dan disimpan pada -30°C untuk dianalisis. Mencit yang divaksin plasmid pcDNA 3.1 wt digunakan sebagai kelompok kontrol, sedangkan untuk perlakuan digunakan 4 kombinasi plasmid DNA yaitu, pcDNA 3.1 H5COP?TM, pcDNA 3.1 H5COP?TM-C3d, pcDNA 3.1 H5COP?TM Spdfull CD40L dan pcDNA 3.1 H5COP?TM-C3d Spdfull CD40L. Respon antibodi dari setiap perlakuan diukur menggunakan metode ELISA dengan antigen H5COP sebagai antigen pelapis pelat ELISA. Berdasarkan hasil uji ELISA, nilai rasio kenaikan OD baseline sampai serum ke-3, mencit yang divaksinasi dengan vaksin DNA H5COP?TM-C3d Spdfull CD40L memiliki nilai rasio yang paling tinggi 2.236 , diikuti dengan mencit yang divaksinasi dengan vaksin DNA H5COP?TM-C3d 1.900 , dan mencit yang divaksinasi dengan vaksin DNA H5COP?TM Spdfull CD40L 1.874.

ABSTRAK
Human papillomavirus HPV adalah virus DNA yang dapat menginfeksi bagian basal sel epitel leher rahim wanita melalui luka sehingga meningkatkan kasus kanker serviks di Indonesia. Penelitian mengenai pengembangan obat terhadap penyakit kanker serviks berbasis vaksin DNA terapeutik telah dilakukan melalui konstruksi plasmid rekombinan antigen E7 HPV-16 pada sistem ekspresi mamalia. Vektor plasmid pcDNA 3.1 5.428 pb yang digunakan pada penelitian berhasil dikonstruksi melalui proses digesti pada situs NheI dan ligasi dengan fragmen acak gen E7 294 pb sehingga membentuk plasmid rekombinan pcDNA-E7 CADB. Plasmid rekombinan hasil ligasi diklona ke dalam sel E. coli TOP 10 melalui proses transformasi heat shock. Analisis hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 5 koloni mengandung plasmid rekombinan pcDNA-E7 CADB. Analisis orientasi arah gen melalui PCR dan digesti pada 5 koloni menghasilkan 2 koloni plasmid positif dengan arah orientasi 5 rsquo; ke 3 rsquo; pada koloni nomor 5 dan 7. Kedua koloni menunjukkan bahwa fragmen gen E7 CADB berhasil disisipkan pada vektor pcDNA 3.1 dan berhasil diklona ke dalam E. coli TOP 10.

ABSTRACT
Human papillomavirus HPV is a DNA virus that can infects the basal cells of the female cervix through wounds in which it may increase the risk of cervical cancer in Indonesia. There has been a drug development research to treat cervical cancer based on therapeutic DNA vaccine via constructing recombinant plasmid of HPV 16 E7 in mammalian expression system. pcDNA 3.1 plasmid vectors 5.428 bp which were used in this research are successfully construced through the digestion process at NheI site and the ligation process with shuffling fragments of E7 gene 294 bp which created pcDNA E7 CADB recombinant plasmid. Recombinant plasmid which is the result of the ligation process is cloned into TOP 10 Escherichia coli cell through a transformation process called heat shock. The result of this research displays 5 colonies containing pcDNA E7 CADB recombinant plasmid. Analysis of gene direction orientation through PCR and digestion of 5 colonies displays positive plasmid on 2 colonies with 5 rsquo ndash 3 rsquo direction on colony unit 5 and colony unit 7. Result of the 2 colony shows that E7 CADB gene fragment successfully inserted into the NheI site of pcDNA 3.1. It also resulted in cloning completion of E7 CADB gene fragments into TOP 10 E. coli.

Masih tingginya prevalensi infeksi HIV di Indonesia dan anjuran WHO untuk melakukan pengembangan vaksin HIV-1 dalam penanganan penyebaran infeksi, menjadikan pentingnya dilakukan pengembangan vaksin HIV untuk tujuan preventif maupun kuratif HIV-1 berdasarkan subtipe AE_CRF01 isolat Indonesia. MPER gp41 sebagai salah satu target dalam pengembangan vaksin HIV telah diketahui dapat menginduksi produksi antibodi netralisasi HIV terhadap MPERgp41. Namun dalam implementasinya, MPER memiliki imunogenisitas yang rendah. Pada penelitian terdahulu telah berhasil dibuat vaksin DNA HA-MPER2 yang mengandung gen HA H5N1 sebagai antigen yang akan mempresentasikan epitop MPER gp41 HIV-1. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk membuktikan adanya respon antibodi spesifik MPER gp41 HIV-1 pada mencit BALB/c yang diimunisasi vaksin DNA HA-MPER2, kemudian dibandingkan dengan kelompok mencit yang diimunisasi vaksin DNA HA-MPER1, vaksin DNA HA dan vaksin DNA wildtype. Penelitian diawali dengan membuat sel E. coli TOP 10 kompeten, transformasi plasmid rekombinan, verifikasi hasil isolasi plasmid dengan analisa gel agarosa 0,8% dan sekuensing. Kemudian dilakukan preparasi vaksin DNA sebelum penyuntikan dengan dilarutkannya plasmid dalam PBS 1x dan ditambahkan DMRIE-c (perbandingan molar 1:2). Pengujian ELISA dilakukan terhadap serum antibodi (pengenceran 1/50) dengan menggunakan peptida ELDKWAS 12,5 μg/ml sebagai antigen. Hasil uji ELISA menunjukkan adanya respon antibodi spesifik terhadap MPER gp41 HIV-1 dengan titer antibodi dalam jumlah rendah.

The high prevalence of HIV infection in Indonesia and WHO recommendation to develop HIV-1 vaccine in the handling of infection spreading signifies the importance of HIV-1 vaccine development for preventive and curative purpose based on AE_CRF01 subtype of Indonesian isolate. MPER gp41 as one of the target of HIV vaccine development had been known to induce production of neutralizing antibody against HIV MPER gp41. However, in the implementation, MPER had low immunogenicity. Previous work on HIV vaccine development at IHVCB-UI had succesfully produced DNA HA-MPER2 vaccine prototype which contained HA H5N1 gen as a scaffold that would present MPER gp41 HIV-1 epitope. This research was conducted to prove the existence of specific antibody response towards HIV MPER gp41 in BALB/c mice immunized by HA-MPER2 DNA vaccine in comparison with BALB/c mice immunized by HA DNA vaccine and the pcDNA3.1 vector DNA. The research was initiated by generation of E. coli TOP 10 competent cells, followed by transformation of competent cells, and plasmid isolation. The result would be verified by 0.8% agarosa gel analysis and sequencing, followed by DNA vaccine preparation by dissolving plasmid in PBS 1x and adding DMRIE-c (molar comparation 1:2). The ELISA test was conducted towards antibody serum (dilution 1/50) by using 12.5 μg/ml ELDKWAS peptide as an antigen. The result showed the presence of specific antibody response towards HIV MPER (ELDKWAS) gp41 that was observed in low titer.
