"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang. Protein yang berperan penting dalam fungsi sperma berpotensi sebagai target molekul dalam upaya pengembangan bahan kontrasepsi pria. Salah satu protein yang terdapat pada sperma adalah protein kanal Voltage Dependent Anion Channel3 (VDAC3). VDAC3 berfungsi mengatur aliran ion dan metabolit termasuk ATP. Dari penelitian dengan menggunakan teknik knock-out mouse pada gen VDAC3 dilaporkan bahwa mencit jantan mutan VDAC3 homozigot mengalami penurunan yang signifikan dalam motilitas spermanya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memproduksi antibodi poliklonal VDAC3 melalui imunisasi protein rekombinan VDAC3 murni dan uji aktivitasnya terhadap motilitas dan viabilitas sperma manusia.Metode. Verifikasi keberhasilan pemotongan His fussion tag beserta 31 asam amino plasmid dari protein rekombinan dilakukan dengan teknik Western blott. ELISA digunakan untuk mengetahui titer IgG anti VDAC3sedangkan uji efektifitas antibodi VDAC3 terhadap fungsi sperma dilakukan dengan menghitung prosentase sperma yang tidak bergerak, waktu yang ditempuh sperma dalam jarak 0,1 mm. Analisa viabilitas sperma dilakukan dengan metode pewarnaan eosin.Hasil. Pada penelitian ini Western blotting dengan menggunakan antibodi Rabbit Anti VDAC Human menghasilkan pita tunggal dengan ukuran ~ 16 kDa, sedangkan penggunaan antibodi terhadap His (C-term) tidak menunjukan adanya pita. Hasil spektofotometri ELISA titer antibodi poliklonal VDAC3 yang berasal dari kelinci menunjukkan adanya peningkatan titer antibodi poliklonal VDAC3 setelah imunisasi dibandingkan dengan titer antibodi sebelum imunisasi (preimun serum). Hasil uji aktivitas antibodi poliklonal VDAC3 menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan jumlah sperma bergerak yang bermakna pada waktu 30 menit (p<0,05) dan 60 menit (p<0,05), juga terjadi peningkatan waktu tempuh sperma yang bermakna pada waktu 0-30 menit (p<0,05) setelah perlakuan. Penambahan antibodi poliklonal VDAC3 juga berpengaruh secara nyata terhadap persentase viabilitas spermatozoa yang hidup (p<0,05).Kesimpulan. VDAC3 poliklonal antibodi berhasil diproduksi melalui imunisasi dari VDAC3 rekombinan murni. Antibodi poliklonal anti-protein rekombinan Voltage Dependent Anion Channel-3 (VDAC3) dapat menurunkan motilitas dan viabilitas sperma manusia invitro secara bermakna.

ABSTRACT

Background. Sperm-specific proteins that are important for sperm function can potentially be used as a target for developing a male contraceptive. One of the proteins found in the human sperm is Voltage Dependent Anion Channel3 (VDAC3). VDAC3 regulates the flow of ions and metabolites including ATP in the mitochondrial membrane and cell membrane of the eukaryotes. A previous study showed VDAC3 knockout mice had significant reduction in sperm motility. The purpose of this study was to produce polyclonal antibodies through immunization of pure VDAC3 recombinant protein and analyze its effect towards sperm motility and viability.

Methods. Removal of the His fussion tags plus 31 amino acids from the recombinant plasmid was verified using western immunoblotting. The titter of VDAC3 polyclonal antibody was determined by ELISA. The effect of VDAC3 antibodies against sperm qualities namely motility and viability was assessed using standard sperm analyses approved by the WHO.

Results. Western immunoblotting using Rabbit Anti Human VDAC3, produced a single band with size of ~ 16 kDa. No visible band was detected when anti-His (C-term) antibody was used in the analyses. Spectophotometric ELISA showed that the titer of VDAC3 polyclonal antibodies, derived from rabbits, polyclonal antibody increased better than the pre-immune. Analyses of VDAC3 polyclonal antibody against human sperm showed an increase in the number of sperm to move significant at 30 minutes (p < 0.05) and 60 minutes (p < 0.05), as well as an increase in sperm significant travel time at the time of 0-30 minutes (p < 0.05) after treatment. Polyclonal antibodies VDAC3 also significantly affect the percentage of sperm viability (p < 0.05).

Conclusion. Polyclonal antibody anti-VDAC3 was successfully produced via immunization of the pure recombinant VDAC3. Polyclonal antibody anti-recombinant protein Voltage Dependent Anion Channel-3 (VDAC3) may decrease human sperm motility and viability in vitro significantly."

"To test effect one point mutation one the first initiation codon of Chiken Anemia Virus (CAV) open reading frame-3 (ORF-3), an opoptin knocked out expressor plasmid pCLS-VP3(-) and a CAV opoptin knocket out plasmid pCAV/Ap(-) were constructed. In both plasmids, the first ATG in COS-1 cells tranfectedwith pCLS-VP3(-) using western blotting and immunofluorescence type. After released from pCAV/Ap(-), the complete genome of CAV/Ap(-) was ligated to form the replicative form. the oppotin prodective was completely abolished in MDCC-MSB1 cells transfected with replicative form of CAV/Ap(-). The opoptin production was fully regained after a reverse mutation into CAV/Ap(-)RM. These data shows the first evidence that mutation of the first ATG of ORF-3 into ACG could completely abolish the production of apoptin"

"Demam berdarah dengue (DBD) merupakan suatu penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue (DENV) dan ditransmisikan oleh nyamuk yang hidup di daerah tropis dan subtropis. Insiden terjadinya demam dengue (DD) dan DBD meningkat secara dramatis di dunia selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Hingga saat ini belum ada terapi yang spesifik untuk infeksi dengue. Pengobatan hanya bersifat simptomatik. Walaupun demikian, pada kasus DBD dan SSD, perawatan dini dapat menurunkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas. Untuk itu diperlukan uji laboratorium yang akurat untuk membantu menegakkan diagnosis dini infeksi dengue. Deteksi Antigen non struktural-1 (NS-1) telah tebukti mampu mendeteksi dini infeksi DENV. Pemeriksaan ini dapat memberikan hasil lebih dini, akurat dan dengan harga yang lebih murah. Dalam usaha mengembangan uji diagnosis berdasarkan NS-1 diperlukan antibodi anti-NS1. Kami telah berhasil memproduksi IgG anti-NS1 DENV. Untuk mendapatkan antibodi anti-NS1 DENV, protein NS-1 (90 μg/ml) koleksi Mikrobiologi disuntikkan pada kelinci dan selanjutnya antibodi dilabel dengan HRP yang dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi protein NS1 pada serum pasien terinfeksi dengue. Antibodi IgG HRP yang diperiksa menggunakan metode direct ELISA menunjukkan nilai absorbansi tertinggi pada pengenceran 1:100 dan terendah pada pengenceran 1:12800. Uji NS-1 pada serum pasien menunjukkan hasil positif pada semua serum pasien terinfeksi DENV, baik DENV 1, 2, 3 dan 4. Sedangkan hasil negatif ditunjukkan pada serum pasien yang terinfeksi CMV dan EBV, serta pada serum orang sehat. Hasil ini menunjukan bahwa antibodi yang dilabel HRP dapat digunakan untuk pengembangan uji diagnostik untuk mendeteksi keberadaan antigen NS1 virus dengue dalam serum pasien.

Dengue fever is a disease caused by dengue virus and is transmitted by mosquito in tropical and subtropical regions. Dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorraghic fever (DHF) have been dramatically increased in recent decades. Specific therapy to dengue infection is not available. The therapy is only symptomatic. In DHF and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) cases, early therapy can reduce morbidity and mortality rate. Therefore, laboratory assay are needed to accurately diagnose dengue infection at early stage. Detection of nonstructural-1 (NS1) antigen has been proven to provide early detection of DENV infection. The assay can provide early and accurate result with less expensive cost. In a attempt to develop an NS1 - based diagnostic test, we successfully produced anti- NS1 DENV antibody. To obtain anti NS1 DENV antibody, NS1 protein (90 μg/ml) collection of Microbiology was injected to rabbit. The antibodiy was further labeled with HRP and be used to detect NS1 protein in dengue patient sera. The antibody labeled with HRP by direct ELISA method showed the highest absorbance value in 1:100 dilution and the lowest absorbance in dilution 1:12800. NS1 test of patients serum using this labelled antibody showed positive result in all the sera of patients infected with DENV, either DENV 1, 2, 3, and 4. Whereas negative results are shown in the serum of patients infected with CMV and EBV, as well as the serum of healthy people. Therefore, the antibody labeled with HRP could be used for developing diagnostic assay to determine the presence of dengue virus NS1 antigen in patient sera."

"Infeksi dengue DENV adalah penyakit yang diperantarai nyamuk yang manifestasinya dapat mengarah pada dengue hemorrhagic fever DHF dan/atau dengue shock syndrome DSS yang dapat mengakibatkan kematian. Di Indonesia, DHF sudah endemis dan menjadi penyakit yang terjadi sepanjang tahun. Protein non struktural-1 NS1 dari DENV diketahui merupakan biomarker dalam diagnosis dengue karena protein ini bersirkulasi dalam darah selama fase akut penyakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan antibodi monoklonal mAb untuk mendeteksi antigen NS1 dari DENV serotipe 3 DENV3. Sel hibridoma penghasil mAb diperoleh dengan memfusikan sel B dari mencit yang diimunisasi dengan antigen NS1 yang diekspresikan pada sel CHO-K1 dengan sel PAI myeloma. Seleksi hibridoma dengan ELISA indirect diperoleh 16 klona yang berpotensi menghasilkan antibodi anti-NS1. Tujuh klona terbaik dipilih untuk dikarakterisasi dengan metode IFA terhadap antigen rekombinan NS1 dan hasilnya 6 klona positif menunjukkan reaksi sinyal fluoresens. Klona mAb 4-2D, 4-4F, dan 2-7A diuji terhadap protein NS1 native dari DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, dan DENV4, dan ketiga mAb tersebut mampu mengenali secara spesifik protein NS1 dan tidak bereaksi terhadap protein virus yang lain. Terdapat reaktivitas silang dengan 3 serotipe lainnya yang mengindikasikan bahwa mAb yang diujikan mengenali epitop lestari antigen NS1. Analisis prediksi epitop NS1 juga dilakukan secara in silico terhadap beberapa strain DENV lainnya. Namun, studi lebih lanjut mengenai pemetaan epitop dan afinitas pengikatan antigen-antibodi perlu dilakukan untuk menentukan mAb yang paling potensial sebagai bahan baku kit diagnostik.

Dengue DENV is a mosquito borne infection disease which its manifestation can be lead to a lethal dengue hemorrhagic fever DHF and or dengue shock syndrome DSS . In Indonesia, DHF has been endemic and the disease occurs throughout the year. Non structural 1 NS1 protein of DENV is known to be a biomarker in dengue diagnosis since the protein is abundantly circulating in the blood during acute phase of the disease. The aim of this study to develop monoclonal antibodies mAbs derived from DENV3 to detect NS1. Hybridoma mAb producing cells were obtained by fusing B cells from an immunized mice with NS1 antigen expressed on CHO K1 cells, with PAI myeloma cells. Hybridoma selection with indirect ELISA showed 16 clones that could be potentially produce anti NS1 antibodies.

Seven up to sixteen clones were selected to be characterized by IFA against recombinant NS1 antigen and the result showed 6 clones produce fluorescence signals. Clones mAb 4 2D, 4 4F, and 2 7A were tested against native NS1 proteins from DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4, and these mAbs were able to recognize specifically NS1 protein and did not react against other viral proteins. There is a cross reactivity within 3 other serotypes which initially indicate that mAbs recognizes the conserved epitopes determinant of the NS1 antigen. Epitopes prediction analysis was also performed in silico against several others DENV strains. However, further studies of epitope mapping and antigen antibody binding affinity are necessary to determine the most potential mAbs for diagnostic tools. "

"Infeksi virus dengue masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di Indonesia dengan angka kejadian yang cukup besar setiap tahunnya. Virus ini memiliki 3 protein struktural dan 7 protein non struktural. Salah satu dari protein non struktural yaitu non struktural l (NSI) memiliki tingkat imunogenisitms yang cukup tinggi dan dihasilkan di awal infeksi. Protein NSI juga tidak menunjukkan adanya reaksi silang dcngan virus golongan flvivirus lainnya, sehingga menjadi kandidat yang baik untuk digunakan sebagai antigen diagnosis infeksi dengue. Kami mencoba memproduksi protein non-struktural 1 (NSI) rekombinan dari virus dengue serotype-2 yang berasal dari strain DS-3106 pasien DI-IF Jakarta tahun 2006 untuk diiadikan sebagai kandidat antigen. Gen NSI diamplifikasi dengan PCR untuk kemudian diklon ke dalam vektor pGEX-6P-l dan selanjutnya diekspresikan di dalam baketri EZ coli strain BL-21. Hasil analisis SDS-PAGE dan westem blot menunjukkan bahwa protein NSI rekombinan telah berhasil diekspesikan pada kisaran 80 kDa. Protein nekombinan Gst»-NSI telah berhasil dipurifikasi menggunakan Sephadex-G-100 serta kit Purifikasi Bulk Gst dengan kadar 21 ng/ ul.Protein ini juga menunjukkan adanya reaktivims dengan serum pasien dengue. Produksi protein NSI secara nekombinan dapat menjadi altcmatif untuk menycdiakan antigen dalam skala besar dan aman yang dapat digtmakan dalam pengembangan diagnosis infeksi dengue.
