Abstract excerpt
We investigated the role of DNA methylation in gene regulation of the rat T-cell differentiation marker RT6. Analysis of the methylation status of various tissues revealed that the RT6 promoter was hypomethylated in RT6-expressing tissues, and methylated in nonexpressing ones. Remarkably, among RT6-nonexpressing tissues, the extent of methylated regions varied greatly between lymphatic tissues, where regions...
