Biosintesis Antigen Permukaan Hepatitis B HBsAg100 Pada Escherichia Coli Dalam Rangka Produksi Protein Rekombinan Sebagai Model Imunogen Untuk Menghasilkan Antibodi

Biosintesis protein rekombinan melalui Escherichia coli memberikan alternatif untuk menghasilkan protein antigen yang bermanfaan bagi kepentingan kesehatan yang bebas dari protein manusia. Penelitian ini menggabungkan fragmen DNA dari antigen permukaan virus Hepatitis B dengan gen penyandi enzim gluthation-S-transferase (GST) di dalam plasmid p GEX-4T-2 yang di ekspresikan di dalam sel-sel Escherichia coli. Polypeptida dengan berat molekul sekitar 34,8 kDa telah diproduksi dan diidentifikasi sebagai protein gabungan GST-HB100. Protein gabungan tersebut kemudian dimurnikan menggunakan kolum GSTrap yang disambung dengan kolum HiTrap. Selanjutnya, protein hasil pemurnian tersebut diharapkan bisa digunakan sebagai bahan vaksin atau untuk menghasilkan antibodi

Studi Pemetaan Multi-drug Resistant (Mdr) Escherichia Coli pada Peternakan Babi di Kota Kupang

The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of the spread of antibiotic-resistant E. coli on pig farms in Kupang City by using mapping analysis. Data on E. coli resistance comes from the results of laboratory analysis and as secondary data for spatial analysis. Spatial analysis uses the nearest neighbour index, convex hull and elementary analysis of disease methods. The results of this study have shown a high prevalence of E. coli (85.4%) with clustered distribution patterns and have a wide spread (10920 ha) in the area in Kupang City. MDR E. coli had a moderate prevalence (57.31%) by forming a group spread pattern and a wide spread (7778 Ha) on pig farms in Kupang City.

Pemeriksaan Kualitas Susu Asal Kedai Susu Kawasan Permukiman Mahasiswa IPB Dramaga dan Cilibende Bogor

Milk is an animal food source that plays a role in human life because it contains various nutritional components. Indonesia's level of milk consumption is still relatively low. As one of an attempt to increase milk consumption, various kinds of processed milk products with a more modish aroma and form were made. However, not all of the quality of the processed milk products sold can be guaranteed. The aim of this study is to determine the quality of milk samples obtained from milk retails located around the students settlement area of IPB University's Dramaga and Cilibende campus. The total of retails around campus obtained from the survey were 13, so 39 samples were bought. Milk samples taken were plain milk without an addition of sugar, flavor variants or ice cubes. The results obtained by the average value of density, content of fat, protein, lactose, dry matter, non-fat dry matter and pH of milk samples in Dramaga region are 1.0190 g/mL, 2.66%, 2.02%, 3.03%, 8.18%, 5.52% and 6.89. Milk samples in Cilibende region are 1.026 g/mL, 3.80%, 2.75%, 4.13%, 11.34%, 7.54% and 6.54. Based on pasteurization and sterilization perfectness test, it was discovered that all samples were pasteurized milk, even as much as 30.8% were sterilized milk. From this study, it can be concluded that the ready-to-drink milk sold in retails around the students settlements of IPB University has poor quality because it does not meet the minimum standard requirements of SNI No. 01-3951-1995 about Pasteurized Milk
