Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • DNA

Luc Montagnier mainly focuses on Virology, Virus, Immunology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Retrovirus. His Virology study incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Antigen. His Virus study is associated with Genetics.

His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study combines topics in areas such as Seroconversion, Etiology, Risk factor and Isolation. While the research belongs to areas of Retrovirus, Luc Montagnier spends his time largely on the problem of Provirus, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Restriction enzyme, Phylogenetics and Conserved sequence. His Antibody research includes themes of Viral protein and Group-specific antigen.

His most cited work include:

  • Isolation of a T-lymphotropic retrovirus from a patient at risk for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). (5434 citations)
  • T-lymphocyte T4 molecule behaves as the receptor for human retrovirus LAV (2121 citations)
  • HIV-1 Genome Nuclear Import Is Mediated by a Central DNA Flap (812 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Virology, Virus, Antibody, Immunology and Antigen. Luc Montagnier specializes in Virology, namely Retrovirus. The study of Virus is intertwined with the study of Gene in a number of ways.

As part of his studies on Antibody, Luc Montagnier often connects relevant subjects like Peptide. Antigen and Monoclonal antibody are frequently intertwined in his study. He has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including RNA, Interferon, DNA and Recombinant DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (62.72%)
  • Virus (40.18%)
  • Antibody (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2018)?

  • Virology (62.72%)
  • Antigen (21.21%)
  • Virus (40.18%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Antigen, Virus, Retrovirus and Antibody. The Virology study combines topics in areas such as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Glycoprotein, Transmembrane protein, Complementary DNA and In vivo. The various areas that Luc Montagnier examines in his Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study include Viral disease, Immunology and Family medicine.

His Virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in RNA, Viral vector, Nucleic acid and Monoclonal. His studies in Retrovirus integrate themes in fields like Nucleic acid sequence, Peptide sequence and Polyclonal antibodies. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology, In vitro and Immune system as well as Antibody.

Between 1997 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • HIV-1 Genome Nuclear Import Is Mediated by a Central DNA Flap (812 citations)
  • Simian immunodeficiency virus replicates to high levels in sooty mangabeys without inducing disease. (252 citations)
  • HIV-1-resistance phenotype conferred by combination of two separate inherited mutations of CCR5 gene (250 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, DNA, Immunology and Retrovirus. He works in the field of Virology, namely Virus. Luc Montagnier has included themes like Viral disease and Viral load in his Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology and Polymerase chain reaction in addition to DNA. His research in Immunology focuses on subjects like In vivo, which are connected to Aids patients, RNA and Antiretroviral therapy. His research investigates the connection with Retrovirus and areas like Antibody which intersect with concerns in Cord blood and Leukemia.
