    Abstract

    Background: Marijuana has been shown to have an immunomodulatory activity. Results: ChIP-Seq results show genome-wide changes in histone methylation in immune cells treated with THC. Conclusion: Histone modifications are associated with THC-mediated alterations in antigen-specific T cell response. Significance: This study provides insights into the potential role of epigenetic changes induced by THC in gene regulation.
