Methodology
2.5 Treatment
Animals were divided into 6 groups. They were
given crude extract, non polar fraction, semi polar
fraction, and polar fraction of Phyllophorus sp.
respectively. Control groups (negative and positive
control group) received no Phyllophorus sp. The
doses of Phyllophorus sp. was equal to 0,0462g dry
weight/kg BW/day for 14 days. A suspension
contained 106 Mtb infected intraperitoneally into
mice of all groups at day 15 except negative control
group. The blood samples were collected
intracardiacly at day 18. To obtain their serum, the
coagulated blood samples were centrifuged at 4oC,
3000 rpm for 10 minutes after .
2.6 Measurement of Interleukin-12 level
To measure the level of IL-12, all samples of serum
were subjected to quantification total IL-12 level by
ELISA (enzyme-linked immmunosorbent assay)
using mouse IL-12 total ELISA BenderMed
system.

3 Result
Macrophages are the main effector cells involved in
killing of MTb (van Crevel et al., 2002). Initial
response
of
macrophages
started
when
macrophages-bearing receptors recognize to certain
parts of MTb. These main receptors are Toll-like
receptor (TLR) and C-type lectin mannose
receptors that which able to recognize mannosecapped
lipoarabino-mannan
(Man-LAM),
lipoarabinoma-nnan (LAM), and other ligands that
are found in cell wall of MTb (Doz et al, 2007).
Generally, bacterial infections stimulate IL-12
production by macrophages (Vecchio et al., 2007).
But, the level of IL-12 in control group with MTb
infection didnt increase significantly compared
with control group without MTb (figure 1.)
indicating that there was suppression of IL-12
production in response to mycobacterial infection
(Pathak et al., 2005)

4 Conclusions
Figure 1: Interleukin-12 level of all group of
treatments. The same script above each diagram
represent not significantly different after
Duncan test at =0.05). K1= control group
without Mtb infection; K2 = control group with
Mtb infection; P1, P2 and P3 were group that
given by crude extract, non polar fraction, semi
polar fraction and polar fraction of ball sea
cucumber Phyllophorus sp. respectively.
