Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Antibody
  • Antigen

Fidel Zavala mainly investigates Virology, Antigen, Epitope, Circumsporozoite protein and Cytotoxic T cell. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium, Malaria, Plasmodium yoelii and Antibody. His Antigen research is included under the broader classification of Immunology.

His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology, Protein primary structure and Malaria vaccine as well as Epitope. Fidel Zavala combines subjects such as Cytolysis and Plasmodium berghei with his study of Circumsporozoite protein. His work deals with themes such as T cell and CD8, which intersect with Cytotoxic T cell.

His most cited work include:

  • In Vivo Depletion of CD11c+ Dendritic Cells Abrogates Priming of CD8+ T Cells by Exogenous Cell-Associated Antigens (1555 citations)
  • Cloned cytotoxic T cells recognize an epitope in the circumsporozoite protein and protect against malaria (441 citations)
  • Quantification of antigen specific CD8+ T cells using an ELISPOT assay (361 citations)

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

Fidel Zavala focuses on Virology, Immunology, Circumsporozoite protein, Antigen and Epitope. The Virology study combines topics in areas such as Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Immune system and Antibody, Monoclonal antibody. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Immunology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Cytotoxic T cell, and often CD8 and T cell.

His research integrates issues of Immunogenicity, Adjuvant, Malaria vaccine, In vivo and Plasmodium berghei in his study of Circumsporozoite protein. His Antigen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Immunoradiometric assay and Protozoa. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology, Peptide, Recombinant DNA and Virus in addition to Epitope.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (64.94%)
  • Immunology (37.93%)
  • Circumsporozoite protein (37.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Circumsporozoite protein (37.36%)
  • Virology (64.94%)
  • Antibody (29.31%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Circumsporozoite protein, Virology, Antibody, Plasmodium falciparum and Malaria vaccine. Fidel Zavala is investigating Circumsporozoite protein as part of his Epitope, Immunology and Antigen and Circumsporozoite protein study. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Cytotoxic T cell and Immunology.

His research in Antigen intersects with topics in Amino acid, Recombinant DNA, Molecular biology, Immunogen and Peptide. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Malaria and Immunogenicity. His Plasmodium falciparum study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Monoclonal antibody and Plasmodium berghei.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A human monoclonal antibody prevents malaria infection by targeting a new site of vulnerability on the parasite (115 citations)
  • Structural basis for antibody recognition of the NANP repeats in Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein. (59 citations)
  • The Plasmodium falciparum Cell-Traversal Protein for Ookinetes and Sporozoites as a Candidate for Preerythrocytic and Transmission-Blocking Vaccines (31 citations)
