We present the results of a Suzaku observation at the northeastern limb of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. The high detection efficiency together with the high spectral resolution of the Suzaku X-ray CCD cameras enables us to detect highly-ionized C and N emission lines from the Cygnus Loop for the first time. We performed an annular spectral analysis to our data set and investigated the plasma structure along the radial direction. Our data are well characterized by a two-component non-equilibrium ionization model with different values of electron temperature. Abundances of C to Fe are all depleted to typically 0.1 solar, even for Ne. Relative abundances to O are roughly consistent with solar values.
