Abstract excerpt
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore the molecular basis of the K0 phenotype of a Taiwanese blood donor found to have anti-Ku alloantibodies. BACKGROUND: With respect to Kell blood group antigens, almost all Taiwanese have the (K-, k+) phenotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Alloantibody identification and KEL antigen typing were performed. Enzymatic function assays were carried out to detect the...
