This antibody recognises CD238, also known as the kell blood group antigen Kpbc. The kell blood group antigens are carried on a 93 kDa erythrocyte membrane glycoprotein. In haemaggulation tests, BRIC203 reacts with Kp (a-b+) but not Kp (a+b-). In addition this antibody will agglutinate Kp (a+b-c+) and Kp (a-b-c+) erythrocytes but not react with Ko Erythrocytes.

Target
KEL
(Kell Blood Group, Metallo-Endopeptidase (KEL))
Blood Group Kell Antigen is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein. The Kell glycoprotein links to the XK membrane protein, that carries the Kx antigen via a single disulfide bond. The encoded protein contains sequence and structural similarity to members of the neprilysin (M13) family of zinc endopeptidases.Synonyms: Kell blood group glycoprotein
