12 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: KEL1, also known as "K", is one of the most immunogenic red blood cell (RBC) antigens. KEL2, also known as "k," differs from KEL1 by a single amino acid. Anti-Kell system antibodies can lead to significant adverse clinical outcomes in humans, including hemolytic complications in alloimmunized transfusion recipients or in infants of alloimmunized mothers. To provide a platform for in-depth immunologic...
