Overview

Tetsuji Kobata is affiliated with Tokyo Medical and Dental University in Japan. Their research primarily focuses on immunology and microbiology, with six publications in this field. Within this broad area, their work concentrates on immunology as a subfield.

The main topics that Kobata addresses in their research include:

  • Immune Cell Function and Interaction
  • T-cell and B-cell Immunology
  • IL-33, ST2, and ILC Pathways
  • Immunotherapy and Immune Responses

Their recent papers include two notable studies. The first, published in 2020 in Immunology Letters, is titled "IL-21 and IL-5 coordinately induce surface IgA+ cells." The second paper, published in 2021 in the Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, is titled "Fine-tuning of antigen-specific immune responses by regulatory T cells activated via antigen recognition-independent and humoral factor-dependent mechanisms."

Kobata frequently collaborates with several coauthors who have contributed to multiple publications together, including Masaaki Hashiguchi, Yuji Kashiwakura, Yumiko Kanno, and Hidefumi Kojima.

They have published in the venues Immunology Letters and Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, each contributing to one published work in these journals.
