Anti-Kell can cause severe anemia regardless of titer. [13] Anti-Kell suppresses the bone marrow, [14] by inhibiting the erythroid progenitor cells. [15] [16] anti-Kell 2, anti-Kell 3 and anti-Kell 4 antibodies. Hemolytic disease of the newborn can also be caused by anti-Kell 2, anti-Kell 3 and anti-Kell 4 IgG antibodies. These are rarer and ...
Antibodies to the other Kell antigens are rare. [19] Anti-Kell can cause severe anemia regardless of titer. [22] It suppresses the bone marrow by inhibiting the erythroid progenitor cells. [23] [24] [25] Anti-M also recommends antigen testing to rule out the presence of HDN as the direct coombs can come back negative in a severely affected ...
This test tells whether there are antibodies in the maternal plasma. If positive, the antibody is identified and given a titer. Critical titers are associated with significant risk of fetal anemia and hydrops. [1] Titers of 1:8 or higher is considered critical for Kell. Titers of 1:16 or higher are considered critical for all other antibodies.

The Kell group was named after the first patient described with antibodies to K 1, a pregnant woman named Mrs. Kellacher in 1945. [11] Mrs. Cellano was likewise a pregnant woman with the first described antibodies to K 2. The K 0 phenotype was first described in 1957 and the McLeod phenotype was found in Hugh McLeod, a Harvard dental student ...
If a person without a Kidd blood antigen (for example a Jka-Jkb+ patient) receives a Kidd antigen (Jka-antigen for example) in a red blood cell transfusion and forms an alloantibody (anti-Jka); upon subsequent transfusion with Jka-antigen positive red blood cells, the patient may have a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction as their anti-Jka antibody hemolyzes the transfused Jka-antigen ...
