DNA Methylation Changes at Human Th2 Cytokine Genes Coincide with DNase I Hypersensitive Site Formation During CD4+ T Cell Differentiation
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of naive CD4(+) T lymphocytes into Th1 and Th2 lineages generates either cellular or humoral immune responses. Th2 cells express the cytokines IL-4, -5, and -13, which are implicated in asthma and atopy. Much has been published about the regulation of murine Th2 cytokine expression, but studies in human primary T cells are less common. We have developed a method for differentiating human...
