Measuring circulating progesterone (P4) of dairy cows is a key component of many research studies dealing with basic and applied reproduction physiology. The gold standard in dairy cows for the measurement of P4 in serum is radioimmunoassay (RIA), but it generates radioactive waste and requires licensed facilities. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an in-house competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to measure the P4 concentration in serum of dairy cattle. The secondary objective was to validate a commercial EIA. In the present study, a competitive EIA was developed using commercially available antibodies and conjugates. Ninety-six well microtiter plates were coated with the secondary antibody and incubated overnight. Following a washing step, the wells were blocked using the primary antibody. Serum samples were prepared by first extracting P4 using petroleum ether, then diluted in working conjugate solution. Samples were pipetted into the coated and blocked plates, then the matching HRP conjugate label (P4-3-HRP, East Coast Bio, North Berwick, ME) was added. The plates were incubated for 2 h, then washed. The substrate solution was added, and the plate was incubated up to 1 h at room temperature in the dark until a blue color had developed. A stop solution was added, and the optical density measured on a microplate reader was set at 450 nm. The binding proportion was calculated by a visible spectrum absorbance reader, and the amount of P4 was calculated using a log-logit regression line. The commercial EIA was executed as suggested by the manufacturer. The validation of the in-house EIA was done by calculating the inter- and intraassay coefficients of variation (CV) and evaluating the parallelism of diluted samples. The results from the in-house and commercial EIA were also compared with the ones from the RIA graphically (scatterplots and Bland-Altman plots) and statistically, using the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) and the Cohen's kappa statistics using a threshold of 1.0 ng/mL (κ). For the in-house EIA, the intraassay CV were all 0.4 ng/mL, and a perfect agreement with RIA using a threshold of 1.0 ng/mL.

Tradicionalmente, a concentração espermática é avaliada por meio da contagem de células em câmara hemocitométrica de Neubauer, técnica laboriosa adotada na rotina dos laboratórios de andrologia. Uma alternativa para essa contagem é a técnica computadorizada de avaliação espermática (CASA), método que pode aumentar a eficiência e acurácia na determinação da concentração de espermatozoides em uma amostra de sêmen. O presente trabalho relata a avaliação da sensibilidade da técnica CASA para o acesso da concentração de espermatozoides bovinos em pósdescongelação. Foram selecionadas 425 doses de sêmen de reprodutores de diferentes raças, descongeladas a 37°C por 30 segundos e homogeneizadas. Alíquotas de 40 µL de sêmen foram transferidas para tubos cônicos de 1,5 mL previamente preenchidos com 960 µL de água destilada, fixando a taxa de diluição em 1:25 para contagem em câmara de Neubauer. Em contrapartida, alíquotas de 5 µL de cada dose de sêmen foram avaliadas com o emprego do sistema CASA considerando o número mínimo de cinco campos aleatórios e 2 mil espermatozoides por análise. A concentração média de células espermáticas foi de 38,96a ± 1,28 e 35,14b ± 0,82,respectivamente para amostras avaliadas em câmara de Neubauer ou sistema computadorizado, apresentando o coeficiente de correlação de 0,87 (P < 0.0001) e concordância de 0,78 (escala de 0 a 1). Conclui-se que as duas técnicas de avaliação da concentração espermática possuem eficiência similar. No entanto, em virtude da precisão, rapidez e por dispensar a diluição prévia das amostras para a contagem, a CASA é uma alternativa para a contagem de células espermáticas em câmara de Neubauer, sobretudo para grandes centrais de produção de sêmen bovino congelado.
