Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Antibody
Immune system
Antigen

Baruj Benacerraf spends much of his time researching Antibody, Antigen, Hapten, Guinea pig and Biochemistry. Baruj Benacerraf works on Antibody which deals in particular with Gamma globulin. Antigen is a primary field of his research addressed under Immunology.

The concepts of his Hapten study are interwoven with issues in Delayed hypersensitivity and Freund's adjuvant. The Guinea pig study combines topics in areas such as Hemolysis and Receptor. He has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Antiserum and Immunization.

His most cited work include:

PROPERTIES OF ANTIBODIES CYTOPHILIC FOR MACROPHAGES (382 citations)
Effect of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Infection on Transplanted Tumours in the Mouse (334 citations)
Properties of guinea pig 7S antibodies. II. Identification of antibodies involved in passive cutaneous and systemic anaphylaxis. (238 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Baruj Benacerraf mostly deals with Antibody, Antigen, Hapten, Immunology and Molecular biology. His Antibody research integrates issues from Biochemistry and Guinea pig. His study in Antigen is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both In vitro, Stereochemistry, Immune system and Lymph node.

Baruj Benacerraf studied Hapten and Lysine that intersect with Antigenicity, Strain and Caviidae. Baruj Benacerraf has included themes like Heterologous, Sarcoma, Microbiology and Pharmacology in his Immunology study. The various areas that he examines in his Molecular biology study include Glomerulonephritis, Ovalbumin, DNA synthesis, Receptor and Gene.

He most often published in these fields:

Antibody (62.34%)
Antigen (42.86%)
Hapten (32.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1971-2013)?

Immune system (18.18%)
Immunology (33.77%)
In vivo (6.49%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Immune system, Immunology, In vivo, Phagocytosis and Library science. His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genome, Antibody and Antigen. His work on Antigenicity and Lymphatic system as part of his general Immunology study is frequently connected to Autoimmune Reactions and Mechanism, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Mononuclear phagocyte system and Microbiology in addition to In vivo. His study in Library science intersects with areas of studies such as Histocompatibility gene, Environmental ethics, Autopoiesis, Scrutiny and Fact-finding.

Between 1971 and 2013, his most popular works were:

The Nature and Function of Histocompatibility-linked Immune Response Genes (51 citations)
Immunological tolerance; mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications (47 citations)
BACTERIAL PHAGOCYTOSIS BY THE RETICULOENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM IN VIVO UNDER DIFFERENT IMMUNE CONDITIONS (42 citations)
