Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Antigen

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Antigen, Molecular biology, T cell and Major histocompatibility complex. His Immunology research includes elements of Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Hugh O. McDevitt has researched Antigen in several fields, including Antibody, Gene and Immune system.

His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Apoptosis, Regulation of gene expression, Kidney and Allergy. His work in T cell tackles topics such as Interleukin 2 which are related to areas like Transplant rejection, Cancer research and Interferon gamma. His study on Major histocompatibility complex is covered under Genetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of a polymorphism in the human tumor necrosis factor α promoter on transcriptional activation (2026 citations)
  • HLA-DQ beta gene contributes to susceptibility and resistance to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. (1829 citations)
  • Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (1080 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Antigen, Molecular biology, Major histocompatibility complex and Genetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Internal medicine and Nod in addition to Immunology. His research on Antigen also deals with topics like

  • Immune system, which have a strong connection to Histocompatibility,
  • Antibody which intersects with area such as Immune response gene and Spleen.

His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Antiserum, Biochemistry, Complementary DNA, Epitope and Cytotoxic T cell. His work deals with themes such as Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and Peptide sequence, which intersect with Major histocompatibility complex. His NOD mice study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Adoptive cell transfer, IL-2 receptor and Insulitis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (48.02%)
  • Antigen (33.74%)
  • Molecular biology (30.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2020)?

  • Immunology (48.02%)
  • NOD mice (10.03%)
  • Nod (7.60%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, NOD mice, Nod, T cell and Antigen. His Immunology study incorporates themes from Internal medicine and Type 1 diabetes. His NOD mice research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Adoptive cell transfer, Alpha interferon, Immune tolerance and Immunotherapy.

His work carried out in the field of T cell brings together such families of science as Interleukin 2, Cytokine and Molecular biology. In his research, Human leukocyte antigen, Allele, MHC class II and Major histocompatibility complex is intimately related to Epitope, which falls under the overarching field of Molecular biology. Antigen is a primary field of his research addressed under Genetics.

Between 1996 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of a polymorphism in the human tumor necrosis factor α promoter on transcriptional activation (2026 citations)
  • In Vitro–expanded Antigen-specific Regulatory T Cells Suppress Autoimmune Diabetes (1007 citations)
  • Chronic Tumor Necrosis Factor Alters T Cell Responses by Attenuating T Cell Receptor Signaling (259 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, NOD mice, T cell, Nod and Tumor necrosis factor alpha. His is involved in several facets of Immunology study, as is seen by his studies on Autoimmunity and Autoimmune disease. His NOD mice research incorporates elements of Adoptive cell transfer, IL-2 receptor and Immune tolerance.

The various areas that Hugh O. McDevitt examines in his T cell study include Interleukin 2, Epitope, Antigen and Islet. Hugh O. McDevitt interconnects Internal medicine and T-cell receptor in the investigation of issues within Nod. As part of one scientific family, Hugh O. McDevitt deals mainly with the area of Allele, narrowing it down to issues related to the Reporter gene, and often Molecular biology.
