  • Title: Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-Kell undetectable in low-ionic-strength solutions.
    Author: Molthan L, Strohm PL.
    Journal: Am J Clin Pathol; 1981 Apr; 75(4):629-31. PubMed ID: 7223723.
    Abstract:
    Low-ionic-strength solution (LISS) reagents and methodologies have become popular in recent years in hospital transfusion service laboratories for alloantibody detection and compatibility testing of blood recipients. It has been the experience with all other hemagglutination technics that some examples of alloantibodies unpredictably fail to react. Such is the case with this patient's alloantibody with respect to LISS. The patient had a significant hemolytic transfusion reaction due to Kell incompatibility of one unit of packed human erythrocytes. Using various LISS reagents and methodologies, the anti-Kell was undetectable in pretransfusion and posttransfusion samples through the fifth day. The anti-Kell was of immunoglobulin class IgG, and it was detected in saline solution or albumin at room temperature, at 37 C and by the antiglobulin technic.
