Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • DNA

Reinhard Kurth mainly investigates Virology, Endogenous retrovirus, Virus, Molecular biology and Human endogenous retrovirus K. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in Epitope, Antibody and Cell culture. His Endogenous retrovirus research includes elements of Xenotransplantation and Transplantation.

His Virus research is included under the broader classification of Immunology. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Open reading frame and Long terminal repeat. Reinhard Kurth interconnects RNA-Directed DNA Polymerase, Human endogenous retrovirus and Melanoma in the investigation of issues within Human endogenous retrovirus K.

His most cited work include:

  • The viruses in all of us: characteristics and biological significance of human endogenous retrovirus sequences (636 citations)
  • Retroelements and the human genome: New perspectives on an old relation (405 citations)
  • HIV suppression by interleukin-16. (276 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Virus, Antibody, Molecular biology and Simian immunodeficiency virus. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endogenous retrovirus and Immunology, Immune system, Antigen. His work carried out in the field of Virus brings together such families of science as Cell culture, Peripheral blood mononuclear cell, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Provirus.

Reinhard Kurth has included themes like Gammaretrovirus and Transmembrane protein in his Antibody study. His Molecular biology study also includes

  • DNA polymerase and Primer most often made with reference to Reverse transcriptase,
  • Recombinant DNA together with Complementary DNA,
  • Retrovirus that intertwine with fields like Human endogenous retrovirus K. His Simian immunodeficiency virus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Immunodeficiency, Simian, Cercopithecus aethiops, Clone and African Green Monkey.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (68.49%)
  • Virus (35.29%)
  • Antibody (20.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2016)?

  • Virology (68.49%)
  • Antibody (20.59%)
  • Virus (35.29%)

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

Reinhard Kurth mostly deals with Virology, Antibody, Virus, Epitope and Transmembrane protein. His studies deal with areas such as Endogenous retrovirus, Leukemia, Immunology and Immunization as well as Virology. His Endogenous retrovirus course of study focuses on Xenotransplantation and Infectivity.

His studies examine the connections between Antibody and genetics, as well as such issues in Molecular biology, with regards to Provirus, Bisulfite sequencing, Methylation, DNA methylation and Reporter gene. His Virus research includes themes of Heterologous, Peripheral blood mononuclear cell and Genome, Long terminal repeat. His study in Epitope is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Immune system and Gene gun.

Between 2008 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Lack of evidence for xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus(XMRV) in German prostate cancer patients (158 citations)
  • Beneficial and detrimental effects of human endogenous retroviruses. (98 citations)
  • Regulation of human endogenous retrovirus‐K expression in melanomas by CpG methylation (78 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

His main research concerns Virology, Virus, Endogenous retrovirus, Xenotransplantation and Provirus. Virology is closely attributed to Antibody in his research. His research investigates the link between Virus and topics such as Leukemia that cross with problems in Interferon, Multiple sclerosis and Group-specific antigen.

Gene covers Reinhard Kurth research in Endogenous retrovirus. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell culture and Glycoprotein. His Provirus research focuses on Transmembrane protein and how it connects with Molecular biology, Peptide sequence, Human endogenous retrovirus K, Gp41 and Epitope mapping.
