Overview
The ID-Cards DiaClon Anti-Kpa and DiaClon Anti-Kpb are intended for the antigen determination of Kpa and Kpb on red blood cells. 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 the Japanese population. Anti-Kpa and anti-Kpb are less common than anti-K but have similar serological characteristics and are considered to be clinically significant antibodies. They may occur after transfusion or by feto-maternal immunization.
