A 'new' allele, Kpc, at the Kell complex locus

Vox Sang. 1979;36(1):29-30. doi: 10.1111/j.1423-0410.1979.tb04395.x.

Abstract

Four Kp(a-b-) Japanese sisters, the product of a consanguineous mating, have otherwise normal Kell antigens. Kpc, a 'new' allele of Kpa and Kpb is the most probable background.
