We present a direct measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks ({Delta}m) in lepton+jets t{bar t} final states using the 'matrix element' method. The purity of the lepton+jets sample is enhanced for t{bar t} events by identifying at least one of the jet as originating from a b quark. The analyzed data correspond to 3.6 fb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV acquired by D0 in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The combination of the e+jets and m+jets channels yields {Delta}m = 0.8 {+-} 1.8 (stat) {+-} 0.5 (syst) GeV, which is in agreement with the standard model expectation of no mass difference.
