Description
Kpa (KEL3), Kpb (KEL4) and Kpc (KEL21) are part of the Kell system (ISBT, number 006). Kpa is present in approximately 2% of the Caucasian population while Kpb is a high frequency (public) antigen. The Kpc antigen has an occurrence of less than 0.01% but up to 0.32% in Japanese. Anti-Kpa and anti-Kpb are less common than anti-K but have similar serological characteristics and are considered to be clinically significant. They may occur after transfusion or by feto-maternal immunization.
