Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Immune system

Gerhard Jahn mostly deals with Human cytomegalovirus, Virology, Immunology, Virus and Tropism. The concepts of his Human cytomegalovirus study are interwoven with issues in Incidence, Congenital cytomegalovirus infection, Viral matrix protein, Molecular biology and Risk factor. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Cell, Cell type, Haematopoiesis and Antigen.

His work investigates the relationship between Antigen and topics such as Antibody that intersect with problems in Expression cloning. Gerhard Jahn frequently studies issues relating to Transplantation and Immunology. His Tropism research integrates issues from Recombinant DNA, Pathogenesis, Genome, Transfection and Viral entry.

His most cited work include:

  • A very strong enhancer is located upstream of an immediate early gene of human cytomegalovirus (1120 citations)
  • Infusion of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells for the treatment of CMV infection not responding to antiviral chemotherapy. (618 citations)
  • Polymerase chain reaction monitoring reduces the incidence of cytomegalovirus disease and the duration and side effects of antiviral therapy after bone marrow transplantation (428 citations)

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

Gerhard Jahn mainly investigates Virology, Human cytomegalovirus, Immunology, Virus and Congenital cytomegalovirus infection. His Virology research includes themes of Molecular biology, Antibody, Recombinant DNA and Antigen. Gerhard Jahn combines subjects such as Tropism, Cell culture, Viral replication, Phosphoprotein and Polymerase chain reaction with his study of Human cytomegalovirus.

His work in Immunology addresses issues such as Transplantation, which are connected to fields such as Stem cell, CD8 and T cell. His research investigates the connection between Congenital cytomegalovirus infection and topics such as Breast milk that intersect with issues in Breast feeding. His research integrates issues of Viral culture and Bone marrow in his study of Betaherpesvirinae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (62.45%)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (51.02%)
  • Immunology (33.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Virology (62.45%)
  • Immunology (33.88%)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (51.02%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Immunology, Human cytomegalovirus, Congenital cytomegalovirus infection and Ganciclovir. His Virology research focuses on Virus in particular. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Lactation and Breast feeding.

His Human cytomegalovirus research includes elements of Cell culture, Viral tegument, Dendritic cell, Antibody and Polymerase chain reaction. His work carried out in the field of Congenital cytomegalovirus infection brings together such families of science as Pregnancy, Gestational age, Gestation, Antiviral chemotherapy and Transmission. His Ganciclovir research integrates issues from Multiple drug resistance, Cidofovir and Point mutation.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Hallmark Features of Immunosenescence Are Absent in Familial Longevity (136 citations)
  • Cytomegalovirus reactivation and associated outcome of critically ill patients with severe sepsis (90 citations)
  • Effects of Different CMV-Heat-Inactivation-Methods on Growth Factors in Human Breast Milk (75 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Immune system

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Immunology, Human cytomegalovirus, Congenital cytomegalovirus infection and Immune system. His Viral entry study, which is part of a larger body of work in Virology, is frequently linked to Extraction methods, bridging the gap between disciplines. A large part of his Immunology studies is devoted to Virus.

His Human cytomegalovirus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dna viral, Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Dna detection, Dried blood spot and Polymerase chain reaction. In Congenital cytomegalovirus infection, he works on issues like Transmission, which are connected to Pregnancy, Gestational age, Asymptomatic and Gestation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cytotoxic T cell, Antibody and Mutant.
