The ID-Cards Anti-K and Anti-k can be used to determine the antigen status of donor blood prior to crossmatching, for confirmation of the antigen after antibody identification, or for paternal/fetal antigen typing in allo-immunised pregnancies. The antibodies of the Kell system have been associated with transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). The clinical importance of anti-K has resulted in the systematic determination of the K and Cellano antigens in both donors and patients.
