O objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer o número de campos histológicos necessários para quantificar os componentes celulares do corpo lúteo bovino. Para os parâmetros citoplasma das células luteínicas, núcleo das células luteínicas e fibroblasto são necessários 30 campos, enquanto que para células endoteliais e pericito são necessários 35, podendo-se padronizar a técnica em 35 campos e 875 pontos por corpo lúteo. Soybean oil replaced by acidulated soapstock in broiler diets Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the number of fields necessary for the quantification of the cell types of the bovine corpus luteum. A total of 30 fields is necessary for the quantification of the luteal cell cytoplasm, luteal cell nuclei and fibroblast, and 35 fields for the quantification of endothelial cells and pericycles. For the analysis of both parameters is recommended the study of 35 fields and 875 points per corpus luteum.

The tyrosine kinase KIT receptor, the protooncogene CD117, plays a key role in growth and maturation of oocytes and follicles. Relevant data are sparse for the corpus luteum (CL). We first confirmed the presence ofKITmRNA and KIT protein in bovine CL homogenates. We then localized KIT-positive (KIT+) cells in CL sections by immunohistochemistry. At the CL stage of early development, the former theca transforming into capsule/septa showed a strong band-like KIT+ immunoresponse. In addition, CD45+ leukocytes in septa included subpopulations of CD45+/KIT+ and CD14+/KIT+ leukocytes as validated by double immunofluorescence localization. At the early secretory stage, KIT+ cells appeared within the septa/capsule region and in the periphery of the CL parenchyma, there forming a complex network. This was separate from the capillary bed as determined by double staining for CD117 and FVIII-related endothelial cell antigen (FVIIIr). The KIT+ network coincided with cells positive for cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase, a thecal cell-specific enzyme. The late secretory stage was defined by an advanced manifestation of the KIT+ network in the CL periphery. At the stage of regression, the KIT+ network was absent. The CL of pregnancy expressed high levels ofKITmRNA and KIT protein uniformly throughout pregnancy. The KIT+ immunolocalization revealed small fibroblast-like cells, luteal cells with granules, and clusters of large luteal cells with staining of the cell membrane. We conclude that a majority of KIT+ cells in the bovine CL are primarily theca-derived small luteal cells, and that a minority represent KIT+ leukocytes, in some cases KIT+ monocytes.
