MethylCollector Ultra Advantages
- High affinity binding provides greater enrichment than other MBD capture or antibody-based methods
- Fast magnetic bead based protocol is completed in less than 3 hours
- Specifically detects methylated CpGs from 1 ng - 1 µg of DNA fragmented by sonication or enzymatic digestion
- Includes positive control DNA and PCR primers to ensure success
- Eluted DNA is suitable for various downstream applications
Methylated CpG Island Recovery Assay (MIRA)
MethylCollector™ Ultra is based on the Methylated CpG Island Recovery Assay (MIRA) which utilize a His-tagged recombinant methyl-binding protein complex, comprised of MBD2b/MBD3L1, that specifically binds methylated CpGs of genomic DNA fragments that have been prepared by sonication or enzymatic digestion. Nickel-coated magnetic beads capture the protein-DNA complexes which are separated from the rest of the genomic DNA using the included magnet. Optimized buffers ensure that fragments with little or no methylation are removed. The methylated DNA is then eluted from the beads in the presence of Proteinase K. Following clean up, the eluted DNA is ready for use in PCR analysis or other downstream applications. See Flow Chart of MethylCollector™ Ultra process below.
The Methylated CpG Island Recovery Assay (MIRA) utilizes the high affinity of the MBD2b/MBD3L1 complex for methylated DNA1, to provide better enrichment than assays that use the methyl-binding protein MBD2 alone2. MethylCollector™ Ultra can efficiently enrich for methylated DNA from as few as 170 cells (~1 ng DNA).

Preparing DNA Samples for Next-Gen Sequencing following MethylCollector Ultra Enrichment
Enriched methylated DNA obtained using MethylCollector Ultra can be used directly in Next-Gen Sequencing sample processing protocols.
If you intend to perform Next-Gen sequencing analysis following MethylCollector Ultra enrichment of methylated DNA, please refer to the MethylCollector Ultra manual and the Illumina ChIP-Seq DNA Sample Prep Kit for instructions on how to prepare your DNA samples for Next-Gen sequencing.

Figure 1: Next-Gen sequencing data generated using MethylCollector Ultra enriched DNA correlates well with CpG density.
DNA was enriched from 1 µg of human PBMC DNA using Active Motif’s MethylCollector Ultra Kit. Next-Gen sequencing was performed using the Illumina platform to generate 28 million sequence tags. Tags were mapped to generate a whole-genome DNA methylation profile. The image above shows that the enriched regions (purple peaks) correlate well with CpG density except at CpG islands, which should be largely unmethylated.

Figure 2: Next-Gen sequencing data generated using MethylCollector Ultra enriched DNA is more sensitive and robust than data from other MBD enrichment kits.
DNA was enriched from 1 µg of human PBMC DNA using Active Motif’s MethylCollector Ultra Kit and a competitor’s MBD-based enrichment kit. Next-Gen sequencing was performed using the Illumina platform to generate 28 million sequence tags. Tags were mapped to generate whole-genome DNA methylation profiles. The top purple panel is data produced from MethylCollector Ultra and the orange panel is data from the Competitor M kit. MethylCollector Ultra identified more methylated regions and the peaks had greater intensity than peaks identified from the competitor kit.

Figure 3: Next-Gen sequencing data generated using MethylCollector Ultra detects methylation at CpG shores.
DNA was enriched from 1 µg of human PBMC DNA using Active Motif’s MethylCollector Ultra Kit. Next-Gen sequencing was performed using the Illumina platform to generate 28 million sequence tags. Tags were mapped to generate a whole-genome DNA methylation profile. The image above shows one of many examples of DNA methylation being detected at CpG shores rather than in the CpG island itself. This data agrees with recent findings showing that a large portion of methylated sites occur in these CpG shore regions that are adjacent to CpG islands.
