He has published 260 articles in topics related primarily to immunology, with particular emphasis on the involvement of autoimmune phenomena in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. He has described original techniques for the isolation and characterization of antigen-antibody complexes, immunoassays for tetanus and diphtheria antibodies, and for the assay of modified LDL and corresponding antibodies. In 1989 he was co-recipient with Drs. Christoph Gisinger and Maria F. Lopes Virella of the Squibb Award of the Austrian Society for Internal Medicine for the work entitled "Metabolic effects of Lipoprotein Immune Complexes in Macrophages". He co-edited a first edition of "Introduction to Medical Immunology" in 1986, and became the single editor of the 3rd edition, in 1993. The 4 ed. (1999) was translated to the Italian. He has now edited the 7th Ed. of Medical Immunology.
