Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • DNA

Masaru Taniguchi spends much of his time researching Natural killer T cell, Immunology, T cell, Interleukin 12 and Interleukin 21. In his study, Cancer and Pathology is strongly linked to Antigen-presenting cell, which falls under the umbrella field of Natural killer T cell. His work in Immunology tackles topics such as Natural killer cell which are related to areas like Cancer research.

His work carried out in the field of T cell brings together such families of science as T lymphocyte and CD8. His Interleukin 12 research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Innate immune system, Endogeny and Cell biology. Masaru Taniguchi focuses mostly in the field of T-cell receptor, narrowing it down to topics relating to Alpha and, in certain cases, Molecular biology, Spleen, Flow cytometry, Receptor and Sequence analysis.

His most cited work include:

  • CD1d-restricted and TCR-mediated activation of valpha14 NKT cells by glycosylceramides. (2191 citations)
  • Requirement for Vα14 NKT Cells in IL-12-Mediated Rejection of Tumors (1158 citations)
  • Tracking the response of natural killer T cells to a glycolipid antigen using CD1d tetramers. (809 citations)

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

Masaru Taniguchi mainly investigates Immunology, Molecular biology, Natural killer T cell, Antigen and T cell. The Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Cancer research and Transplantation. His Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gene, T-cell receptor, Cytotoxic T cell and Antibody, Monoclonal antibody.

The concepts of his Cytotoxic T cell study are interwoven with issues in CD8 and Major histocompatibility complex. His Natural killer T cell research incorporates elements of Natural killer cell, Interleukin 12 and Cell biology. In his research, Suppressor is intimately related to Receptor, which falls under the overarching field of T cell.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (41.34%)
  • Molecular biology (34.92%)
  • Natural killer T cell (32.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Immunology (41.34%)
  • Natural killer T cell (32.68%)
  • Cell biology (13.69%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Natural killer T cell, Cell biology, CD1D and Biochemistry. Antigen, Immune system, Immunotherapy, Monoclonal antibody and Allergy are the core of his Immunology study. His Natural killer T cell study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell, Antigen-presenting cell, Inflammation, Natural killer cell and Pathology.

His Cell biology study also includes fields such as

  • Cellular differentiation which is related to area like Haematopoiesis,
  • Transcription factor and related Molecular biology. His CD1D research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sphingosine and Effector. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stereochemistry, Cytokine and In vivo.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Phase I-II Study of α-Galactosylceramide-Pulsed IL-2/GM-CSF-Cultured Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Advanced and Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (168 citations)
  • Combination therapy of in vitro-expanded natural killer T cells and α-galactosylceramide-pulsed antigen-presenting cells in patients with recurrent head and neck carcinoma (134 citations)
  • The Transcription Factor E4BP4 Regulates the Production of IL-10 and IL-13 in CD4+ T Cells (130 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Natural killer T cell, Immunology, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Immunotherapy. His Natural killer T cell study is concerned with Antigen in general. Immunology is closely attributed to Slit in his research.

His Biochemistry research integrates issues from Moiety and Stereochemistry. Masaru Taniguchi has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Cytotoxic T cell, Transcription factor, Cellular differentiation and Molecular biology. His study in Cytotoxic T cell is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both T cell, CD8 and Innate lymphoid cell.
