Hi Joe,
	We use tonsil or lymph node as control material.

Hello everyone
my pathologist and I are in a discussion on what to use as a control for
CD-34(HPLA).  I say tonsil works well to identify the endothelial cells.
He
wants me to use spleen.  I've tried several spleen cases, but I still
like
the tonsil better.  The staining in the tonsil seems stronger to me than
it
does in the spleen.  Am I off base with this?  Time for a reality check
I
guess.
