David H. Persing

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Virus
• Gene
• DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Virology, Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesiosis. His research integrates issues of Internal medicine and Cirrhosis in his study of Immunology. His Virology research includes themes of Bartonella tribocorum and Antigen.

His work deals with themes such as Public health and Tick, which intersect with Lyme disease. In the subject of general Borrelia burgdorferi, his work in Lyme disease microbiology and Erythema chronicum migrans is often linked to Erythema migrans, thereby combining diverse domains of study. David H. Persing combines subjects such as Cohort study, Babesia, Prospective cohort study, Serology and Polymerase chain reaction with his study of Babesiosis.

His most cited work include:

• Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction in Synovial Fluid from Patients with Lyme Arthritis (471 citations)
• Perpetuation of the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in a deer tick-rodent cycle (423 citations)
• Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes in the United States: Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, and Response to Interferon Therapy (351 citations)

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

His main research concerns Virology, Immunology, Borrelia burgdorferi, Polymerase chain reaction and Lyme disease. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Antibody, Serology, Antigen and Microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Babesiosis and Internal medicine in addition to Immunology.

His work in Borrelia burgdorferi addresses issues such as Arthritis, which are connected to fields such as Cytokine. While the research belongs to areas of Polymerase chain reaction, he spends his time largely on the problem of Pathology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cervix. His research in Lyme disease intersects with topics in Ehrlichiosis, Ehrlichia, Tick, Lyme disease microbiology and Disease.

He most often published in these fields:

• Virology (43.17%)
• Immunology (40.97%)
• Borrelia burgdorferi (22.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2016)?

• Immunology (40.97%)
• Immune system (6.61%)
• Microbiology (16.30%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Immune system, Microbiology, Lipid A and TLR4. The concepts of his Immunology study are interwoven with issues in Cancer and CDNA Subtraction. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetics, Hemolysin, 16S ribosomal RNA, Propionibacterium acnes and Polymerase chain reaction.

His work in Lipid A addresses subjects such as Toll-like receptor, which are connected to disciplines such as Nasal administration. His study in TLR4 is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Innate immune system and Pharmacology. David H. Persing has researched Gene in several fields, including Babesiosis, Virology, Serology and Bacteria.

Between 2002 and 2016, his most popular works were:

• Taking a Toll on human disease: Toll-like receptor 4 agonists as vaccine adjuvants and monotherapeutic agents. (239 citations)
• Enhancement of antigen-specific immunity via the TLR4 ligands MPL adjuvant and Ribi.529 (211 citations)
• A Synthetic TLR4 Antagonist Has Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Two Murine Models of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (192 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Gene
• Virus
• DNA

David H. Persing focuses on Lipid A, Immunology, TLR4, Innate immune system and Toll-like receptor. David H. Persing has included themes like Cancer and CDNA Subtraction in his Immunology study. His TLR4 research incorporates elements of Monophosphoryl Lipid A, Adjuvant, Pharmacology and Immunity.

His Immunity course of study focuses on Virus and Microbiology. His work deals with themes such as Molecular biology, Silver stain, Polymerase chain reaction and Protein family, which intersect with Microbiology. His Lipopolysaccharide research includes themes of Molecular mimicry, Agonist, Biochemistry, Structure–activity relationship and In vivo.
