Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The red blood cells of the McLeod phenotype have weak expression of Kell System antigens due to no expression of XK protein. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: One blood donor reacted as K:-4 [Kp(b-)] during a screening assay. Subsequent serologic studies demonstrated weak expression of K:4 and all other high-incidence Kell system antigens tested; however, no expression of Kx antigen was observed. RESULTS: One...
