Tonsil Biopsy Training Day
Tonsil biopsy is an important tool to support diagnosis of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).
The National CJD Research and Surveillance Centre held a one-day training workshop on tonsil biopsy interpretation in human prion disease in January 2013. The workshop included presentation and discussion on issues such as tonsil biopsy specimen handling and staining, tonsil biopsy interpretation, PET blot of tonsil and other lymphoid tissues and Western Blot analysis in tonsil biopsy.
