Anti Kpa alloantibody: Development of a rare alloantibody in a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patient of Indian origin

The Kell blood group system is complex, contains many antigens, highly immunogenic, and potent in triggering immune reactions. Antibodies to Kell blood group system are the most common immune red cell antibodies, following ABO and Rh. However, among the anti-Kell antibodies; anti-Kpa is extremely rare. We report an interesting case of Anti-Kpa in a 59-year-old female patient of Non-Hodgkin's Ly...

Anti-S Alloantibody Underlying Pan Agglutinating Autoantibody in a Patient of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Anti-D in a D-positive patient: autoantibody or alloantibody?

Blood Transfus 2007; 5: 44 DOI 10.2450/2007.0008-07 © SIMTI Servizi Srl The D antigen of the Rh blood system is the most important red blood cell antigen determined by a protein, because D-negative individuals are easily anti-D immunised. Individuals, whose cells have a qualitative variation of the D antigen (partial D) lacking one or more components of the D antigen, are said to have a partial...

Management of a pregnant woman with anti-holley alloantibody.

BACKGROUND Holley (Hy) is a high-incidence antigen of the Dombrock blood group system (ISBT 014), present in almost 100% of most populations and more than 99% of Blacks. Since anti-Hy is an extremely rare antibody, data on its clinical relevance and in particular on a possible hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) are scarce. CASE REPORT The pregnant patient underwent two autologo...
