Characterization of humoral immune response to pancreas disease virus (SAV-3) following immunization with whole inactivated virus vaccines and DNA vaccines

ABSTRACT Salmonid alphavirus type-3 (SAV-3) is the causative agent of pancreas disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon. It is associated with significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Vaccines can overcome losses through vaccination. In this study, anti-SAV-3 antibodies in plasma samples from Atlantic salmon vaccinated with DNA, inactivated whole virus vaccines (IWV) and combined delivery of were quantified through indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Plasma samples at 1:50 dilution was found to have neutralizing antibodies using 100 TCID50 SAV-3, but additional testing showed no neutralization at 1:20, 1:40, 1:80, and 1:160 dilution of plasma samples tested on both chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) and chum salmon heart (CHH-1) cell lines. At 1:20 dilution, cytotoxicity was observed in CHSE-214 and CHH-1 cell lines. Furthermore, there was no significant effect of complement on neutralization, although a tendency towards delayed CPE was observed. In summary, immunization of Atlantic salmon with plasmid-encoded (DNA), inactivated whole virus vaccines or combined delivery of intraperitoneal and intranasal induced low levels of circulating antibodies tested by ELISA. Classical virus neutralization assays gave very low to no neutralizing titer. However, employing an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT), titers were found to be 40-80 with some variation between vaccines while for some fish in the DNA vaccinated group, above 80 (no endpoint dilution obtained). It is concluded that an ELISA and IFAT-based neutralization assay can be combined to estimate and document the presence of anti-SAV-3 antibodies post vaccination but correlation with protection against disease is not known.

PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA INTENSIF DENGAN METODE REORGANISASI BARETT TAXONOMY PADA SISWA PENDIDIKAN NON FORMAL PKBM S.SUPRIADI KOTA MALANG

: Penelitian ini dilakukan karena pada Era digital saat ini, kesadaran peserta didik akanpentingnya membaca sangat menurun. Mereka lebih memilih untuk menghabiskan waktu dengangame online, ataupun media social yang ada. Bila tidak dibimbing dan diberikan pengarahan olehtenaga pendidik, maka hal ini akan menurunkan hasil belajar pada peserta didik. Tenaga pendidikberperan penting dalam menangani permasalahan ini, dimana tenaga pendidik dapat menjadikanrutinitas membaca dan memberikan arahan agar peserta didik lebih giat lagi untuk menambahpengetahuan dengan membaca. Pada hakikatnya pembelajaran bahasa adalah belajar berkomunikasi,mengingat bahasa sebagai sarana komunikasi dalam masyarakat. Untuk dapat berkomunikasi denganbaik, seseorang perlu berbahasa yang baik dan benar. Karena itu, pembelajaran bahasa Indonesiaselalu disertakan dalam kurikulum disetiap jenjang pendidikan di sekolah terlebih lagi dipendidikan nonformal.Pada pendidikan non-formal berbeda dengan pendidikan formal karena banyakperbedaan seperti sifat dan karakter siswa , alhasil pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesiadisebuah pendidikan non-formal sangat berbeda dengan formal yaitu lebihpembelajarannya yang fleksibel. Fleksibel dalam artian kata tidak melulu harusmengikut aturan standar kurikulum 2013 dan harus belajar di ruang kelas , Pendidikan non-formalbiasanya akan menyesuaikan kondisi dari lembaga pendidikan tersebut, sifat dari siswanya, kemauandan keinginan siswa tersebut. Sayangnya pembelajaran yang fleksibel ini membuat terkadang adabeberapa siswa yang tertinggal materi , alhasil hal yang dilakukan disalah satu lembagapendidikan non-formal yaitu PKBM S.SUPRIADI yang menggunakan pembelajaran membaca intensifagar siswa bisa cepat mengerti materi yang diajarkan oleh pemateri di lembaga tersebut. Menyusunsebuah ide ataupun informasi secara tersurat dan dinyatakan dalam wacana. Agar dapat menghasilkansebuah pemikiran yang diinginkan, peserta didik dapat menggunakan kalimat penulis secara verticalatau dapat menggunakan parafrase dengan mengubah ucapan penulis.Berdasarkan survei yang sudah dilakukan pada PKBM S.SUPRIADI didapatkan informasi bahwasanyahasil belajar peserta didik tergolong dengan rata-rata rendah. Hal ini terjadi karena kurangnya minatpeserta didik dalam membaca. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa siswa masih merasa kesulitan dalammemahami suatu teks. Beberapa kegiatan dan juga pendekatan serta metode sudah dilakukan olehtenaga pendidik, namun nampaknya tenaga pendidik belum menemukan metode yang tepat untukmembimbing peserta didik
