Epigenetics is the Study of heritable changes in gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and methylation status analysis of genes have been applied to the Study of epigenetic modifications, often perturbed in human cancer. ChIP is a technique allowing the analysis of the protein association with specific genomic regions in the context of intact cells. ChIP and immunoprecipitation (IP) of methylated DNA, both rely on the use of well-characterized specific antibodies. The first is described in Chapter 2 and the second is shown here. At Diagenode, a novel METHYL kit has been designed to immunoprecipitate methylated DNA (Methyl DNA IP). This kit allows you to perform DNA methylation analysis of your sample together with optimized internal IP controls, all in one tube. This brand new Methyl DNA IP method provides methylated DNA (mcDNA) and unmethylated DNA (unDNA) controls to be used together with Your DNA sample, allowing direct correlation between immunoprecipitated material and methylation status. Such methylation analysis is highly specific and each IP is quality controlled, two essential keys for reliable results. In addition, the kit protocol is fast and user-friendly.
