[ABSTRAK Kemampuan Mycobacterium tuberculosis yang dapat memanipulasi danmenghindari respon imun adalah tantangan dalam mencari terapi dan vaksinasiefektif. Penelitian ini untuk menguji potensi ekstrak metanol akar Eurycomalongifolia Jack dalam memodulasi peningkatan IgA dan IgG mencit putih jantanyang divaksinasi BCG, sekaligus untuk menganalisis peningkatan sitokinproinflamasi yang berhubungan dengan produksi IgA dan IgG. Plasma diambilsebelum dan setelah vaksinasi BCG pada 18 ekor mencit yang dibagi ke dalam 2kelompok; perlakuan dan kontrol. Kadar IgA, IgG, TNF-! dan IL-10 diukurdengan metode ELISA. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan IgA kelompok air(0,33±0,16) lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok pasak bumi (0,30±0,30),sedangkan peningkatan IgG kelompok pasak bumi (0,38±0,25) terlihat lebihtinggi dibandingkan kelompok air (0,29±0,35). Rasio TNF-!/IL-10 kelompokpasak bumi (0,46±0,07) lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok air (0,41±0,05).Terdapat korelasi antara TNF-! dengan IgA pada kelompok air (r=0,601,p=0,035) juga dengan IgG pada kelompok pasak bumi (r=0,559, p=0,059).Disimpulkan, pemberian pasak bumi cenderung berpotensi memodulasipeningkatan IgG, tetapi tidak IgA. Selain itu, pemberian pasak bumi jugacenderung meningkatkan sitokin proinflamasi yang mempengaruhi produksi IgAdan IgG. ABSTRACT The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to manipulate and evade host?simmune response is a challenge in finding an effective therapy and vaccination.The purpose of this research were to investigate the potency of methanol extractof the roots of Eurycoma longifolia Jack as immunomodulators for male whitemice vaccinated with BCG, as well as to analyze the increase of proinflammatorycytokines associated with IgA and IgG production. Plasma were taken before andafter BCG vaccination from 18 mice, that were divided into 2 groups; treatmentand control. IgA, IgG, TNF-! and IL-10 levels were measured by using ELISA.The results showed that the enhancement of IgA group with water (0,33±0,16)was higher than group with pasak bumi (0,30±0,30). On the other hand theenhancement of IgG group with pasak bumi (0,38±0,25) was higher than groupwith water (0,29±0,35). The ratio of TNF-!/IL-10 group with pasak bumi(0.46±0.07) was higher than group with water (0.41±0.05). There are correlarionsbetween TNF-! and IgA in the group with water (r=0.601, p=0.035) as well asbetween TNF- ! and IgG in group with pasak bumi (r=0.559, p=0.059). As theconclusion, methanol extract of pasak bumi root tend to potentially modulate theincrease IgG production, but not IgA. In addition, it also tends to increase theproinflamasi cytokines associated with IgA and IgG production.;The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to manipulate and evade host’simmune response is a challenge in finding an effective therapy and vaccination.The purpose of this research were to investigate the potency of methanol extractof the roots of Eurycoma longifolia Jack as immunomodulators for male whitemice vaccinated with BCG, as well as to analyze the increase of proinflammatorycytokines associated with IgA and IgG production.
