Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T- and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals (2013)
Journal Article
Glossop, J. R., Nixon, N. B., Emes, R. D., Haworth, K. E., Packham, J. C., Dawes, P. T., …Farrell, W. E. (2013). Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T- and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals. Epigenetics, 8(11), https://doi.org/10.4161/epi.26265

Multiple reports now describe changes to the DNA methylome in rheumatoid arthritis and in many cases have analyzed methylation in mixed cell populations from whole blood. However, these approaches may preclude the identification of cell type-specific...
