Some of the proteins of mycobacteria are preferentially associated with the cell wall and are powerful immunogens, and humoral antibody responses to these mycobacterial antigens may occur in patients with tuberculosis. In this study, Triton X-100 solubilized protein (TSP) antigen was isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by overnight shaking with 1% Triton X- 100/PMSF and 10-90% ammonium sulfate precipitation. IgG and IgM antibody levels against TSP, crude protein from the unheated cultrue filtrate (CF#) and 30 kDa antigens were determined in the sera of 80 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 99 healthy controls with PPD (+) and (-). High IgG reactivity to TSP and CF antigen was observed in tuberculosis patients. Mean IgG antibody titers against all of three mycobacterial antigens were differed significantly (P<0.01) between patients and controls but IgM showed no difference. By the cut-off value adding 2 standard deviation to the mean absorbance of controls, the sensitivity and specificity of the IgG antibody to TSP antigen were 93.9% and 77.5%. The specificity to TSP antigen was a litttle higher than those obtained by CF and 30 kDa antigen. From the above results, the TSP antigen may be useful for the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis.

10.A Survey on Physicians' Opinions about Informed Consent for Transfusion .
Korean Journal of Blood Transfusion 2008;19(3):165-170
BACKGROUND: The autonomy of patient is becoming more important in medical fields and in transfusion as well. In Korea, there is not yet any legal regulations or reports concerned with informed consent for transfusion. METHODS: Questionnaires were e-mailed to 202 doctors. Among them, 105 doctors received the e-mail questionnaire and 43 (41%) replied. RESULTS: Forty one respondents (95.3%) replied that informed consent for transfusion is necessary. Thirty nine (90.7%) replied that they explain something about transfusion to the patient. The given information during explanation are benefits, adverse reactions, and risks if transfusion not to be given, in decreasing order. Eighteen (42.0%) replied that consent is documented. The reasons for the difficulty in getting informed consent were replied to be unavailability of standardized consent forms, explanation materials, and lack of time. CONCLUSION: Korean doctors seem to agree that informed consent is necessary for transfusion but have difficulties in obtaining. Standardized consent forms and explanation materials will be helpful for its wide implementation.
