CJD group hails new test
A British support group for victims of CJD today welcomed the news that a blood test for the proteins that cause BSE has been developed, raising hopes that people could be screened for the human form of the condition.
“I thinks it’s very positive. Lots of people have been trying to develop a blood test to help us diagnose variant CJD,” Dr Angus Kennedy, chairman of the CJD Support Network, said.
