Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Virus
  • Antibody

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Virus, Bacterial vaginosis, Microbiology and CD59. His research integrates issues of Chinese hamster ovary cell, Transfection, Antigen, Transmembrane protein and Cytotoxicity in his study of Virology. His work carried out in the field of Virus brings together such families of science as Lectin, Mannan-binding lectin, Molecular biology, Complement system and Complement.

His Bacterial vaginosis research includes themes of Microbiome, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Sexual transmission, Immunology and Vaginal disease. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Glycogen and Lactobacillus. His studies in CD59 integrate themes in fields like Titer, Reverse transcriptase, Neutralization and CD46.

His most cited work include:

  • Female Genital-Tract HIV Load Correlates Inversely with Lactobacillus Species but Positively with Bacterial Vaginosis and Mycoplasma hominis (221 citations)
  • Role of Virion-associated Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked Proteins CD55 and CD59 in Complement Resistance of Cell Line-derived and Primary Isolates of HIV-1 (217 citations)
  • Neuroleukin: a lymphokine product of lectin-stimulated T cells. (170 citations)

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

Gregory T. Spear mainly focuses on Virology, Virus, Immunology, Bacterial vaginosis and Microbiology. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Peripheral blood mononuclear cell and Antibody, Complement system, Immune system. His Virus research incorporates themes from Lectin, Mannan-binding lectin, Glycosylation and CD59.

His research investigates the connection between Immunology and topics such as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome that intersect with problems in Viral disease. His Bacterial vaginosis research integrates issues from Vaginitis, Physiology, Sexual transmission and Vaginal disease. His study explores the link between Microbiology and topics such as Lactobacillus that cross with problems in Colonization, Prevotella and Glycogen.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (55.05%)
  • Virus (38.53%)
  • Immunology (37.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Lactobacillus (11.01%)
  • Microbiology (22.94%)
  • Virology (55.05%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Lactobacillus, Microbiology, Virology, Bacterial vaginosis and Immunology. His Lactobacillus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glycogen and Prevotella. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Butyric acid, Immune system, Macrophage and Physiology.

Gregory T. Spear carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Virology and Bovine papillomavirus. Gregory T. Spear works mostly in the field of Bacterial vaginosis, limiting it down to topics relating to Lactic acid and, in certain cases, Pigtail macaque, Fermentation, Virus and Succinic acid. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Microbiome, Trichomonas vaginalis, Hiv transmission, Intensive care medicine and Antimicrobial peptides.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Free Glycogen in Vaginal Fluids Is Associated with Lactobacillus Colonization and Low Vaginal pH (93 citations)
  • Human α-amylase Present in Lower-Genital-Tract Mucosal Fluid Processes Glycogen to Support Vaginal Colonization by Lactobacillus (89 citations)
  • The role of bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas in HIV transmission across the female genital tract. (69 citations)

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

  • Immune system
  • Virus
  • Antibody

Gregory T. Spear mostly deals with Glycogen, Lactobacillus, Bacterial vaginosis, Microbiology and Virology. Gregory T. Spear has included themes like Genital fluid and Vaginal ph in his Glycogen study. His Lactobacillus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mucous membrane, Estrogen and Glycogenolysis.

His research integrates issues of Trichomonas, Colonization, Immunology and Sexual transmission in his study of Bacterial vaginosis. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Microbiome, Innate immune system, Lumen, Physiology and Complement receptor. In his works, Gregory T. Spear conducts interdisciplinary research on Virology and Female circumcision.
