Guest guest Posted January 11, 1999 Report Share Posted January 11, 1999 : My mom had her brain removed from a pathologist at a local hospital. Her brain was sent to two different universities and the hospital where she had her major testing done. The University of Washington, University of CA (Dr. Prusiner's office), and Group Health Central in Seattle. All three biopsies were conclusive for CJD after her death. A biopsy prior to her death was performed at Group Health Central in Seattle was sent to the University of Washigton for analysis, but was inconclusive. All Dr.'s involved with the tissue were concerned about the risks, but the general idea- for research- was the motivating factor. We were very lucky. -Amy S.
