Preparation of cfMeDIP-seq libraries for methylome profiling of plasma cell-free DNA
Read the method

Perform MeDIP (Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation) followed by qPCR to estimate DNA methylation status of your sample using 5-methylcytosine antibody. Our kit contains high quality reagents to get the highest enrichment of methylated DNA with an optimized user-friendly protocol.

To perform an NGS compatible MeDIP-seq assay, you will need to use the MagMeDIP-seq Package.

Additionally, the development of Diagenode’s MagMeDIP qPCR Kit has been largely inspired by the reproducibility standards reached using the SX-8G IP-Star® Automated System. If you are interested in automating this protocol, please check our Auto MagMeDIP qPCR Kit.

Characteristics

  • Generate highly consistent results with internal controls in 24h
  • Minimize error with many reagents in 1 tube
  • Optimized purification (DIB - DNA isolation buffer)
  • Allows direct correlation between IP’d material & methylation status

MagMeDIP kit validated using Bioruptor

Figure 1. IP results obtained with Diagenode MagMeDIP qPCR Kit. MeDIP assays were performed manually using DNA from blood, Gm12878, Hela and U20S cells and the MagMeDIP qPCR kit (Diagenode). The DNA was prepared with the XL GenDNA Extraction Module included. The IP was performed including the kit meDNA and unDNA spike-in controls, together with the human DNA sample controls. The DNA was isolated/purified using DIB. Afterwards, qPCR was performed using the primer pairs also included in this kit.

  • MagMeDIP workflow

    DNA methylation occurs primarily as 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), and the Diagenode MagMeDIP Kit takes advantage of a specific antibody targeting this 5-mC to immunoprecipitate methylated DNA, which can be thereafter directly analyzed by qPCR or Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

    How it works

    In brief, after the cell collection and lysis, the genomic DNA is extracted, sheared, and then denatured. In the next step the antibody directed against 5 methylcytosine and antibody binding beads are used for immunoselection and immunoprecipitation of methylated DNA fragments. Then, the IP’d methylated DNA is isolated and can be used for any subsequent analysis as qPCR, amplification, hybridization on microarrays or next generation sequencing.

  • MeDIP-qPCR

    The kit MagMeDIP contains all reagents necessary for a complete MeDIP-qPCR workflow. Two MagMeDIP protocols have been validated: for manual processing as well as for automated processing, using the Diagenode’s IP-Star Compact Automated System (please refer to the kit manual).

    • Complete kit including DNA extraction module, IP antibody and reagents, DNA isolation buffer
    • Quality control of the IP: due to methylated and unmethylated DNA spike-in controls and their associated qPCR primers
    • Easy to use with user-friendly magnetic beads and rack
    • Highly validated protocol
    • Automated protocol supplied
    Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation

    Figure 1. Immunoprecipitation results obtained with Diagenode MagMeDIP Kit

    A genome-wide screen reveals new regulators of the 2-cell-like cell state
    Defossez Pierre-Antoine et al.
    In mammals, only the zygote and blastomeres of the early embryo are fully totipotent. This totipotency is mirrored in vitro by mouse "2-cell-like cells" (2CLCs), which appear at low frequency in cultures of Embryonic Stem cells (ESCs). Because totipotency is incompletely understood, we carried out a genomewide CRISP...
