Abstract excerpt
An IgG autoantibody with Kx specificity was found in the blood of a 61-year-old white man. The antibody did not cause hemolysis of his own or transfused Kx-positive red cells. The patient is of common Kell blood type and does not exhibit any clinical or hematologic features of McLeod syndrome.
