- This February 2014 Blood Bank Guy Video is a tour through the details of the Kell Blood Group System, which happens to be one of the most important non-ABO blood groups. Kell is famous for nasty transfusion reactions, unique effects on babies, and for terminology that gets misused by many people.

Hi! I'm the medical technologist who contacted you after the Elementary episode aired, thinking that the kell-null daughter didn't make sense. Just rewatched the episode with my son and then watched this and am so glad to see the additional information.
Came across your videos and website today - you explain things so clearly, and with great humour and enthusiasm. I'm looking forward to going through the rest of them and just wanted to say thanks so much!
Awesome, thank you!
It's not often I can find a solid alternative source for the level of knowledge I'm responsible for, other than my prof./text. Thanks Doc.
Great I always enjoy the way you explain these I look forward to other antibodies thank you so much for the effort you put in
I am also partial to the BBC Sherlock!!! Thank you for making these videos; they make my studying experience so much better! :)
Man! I thought you had disappeared! Good to see you back in action!
First, let me say that if it weren't for you and your podcasts, I would have failed my blood bank class miserably!! Thank you for your videos...seriously...you have no idea how much easier you made my life this semester.
Secondly, may I make a request? I'd really like to see a video (even if it's just a mini podlet) about paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and the difference between the two. It would be greatly helpful if you could touch on the Donath-Landsteiner methodologies. Please and thank you!!
I love this video! It's such a good overview of the Kell system and the visuals are super helpful. I have watched it several times already, but watching it one more time as a review for my final exam and the SBB exam (which I plan to take sometime in March.)

When I was pregnant with my first child I came up with anti-Kell anti-P1 antibodies. I was subjected to SO MANY blood tests.
Great lecture! Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for making the video
thank's for your efforts ,it was really helpful
i'm a resident in immunohematology and u're my hero .. thank you :)
Do you know what laboratories will test the maternal serum for free cell fetal DNA? Many maternal fetal specialists in the US are still doing amniocentesis to test the baby for the K antigen. Though, he said he would be open to using free cell DNA if we could find a certified lab that could test for it. Thanks, Ashley
Loved this podcast! Would you mind if I used your ideas of this talk to give a presentation at our BloodBanking seminar in NZ?
Bec, that's no problem. I wish you the best!
Hi! Can you please address why Kell kills? Is there a correlation between kell and mortality (and if so, whose, mother? Fetus?), or is it simply a way to indicate that kell will introduce complications during pregnancy and hence requires particular attentions?
Thank you! desde Bolivia
Great video. Could you please consider making a video on blood ABO and Rh group anomalies ie. when there is discordance between forward & reverse groups. Thanks.
Stephen, I will be doing a discussion of ABO discrepancies as the next podcast, coming before the end of April.

Thanks Dr. Chaffin, looking forward to it!
Thank you!
My head hurts ... soooooo many kells....
what does ZZAP means?
+rem ashley cometa see this post on the BBGuy site: www.bbguy.org/education/5thingsgrannies.asp for the answer to your question and more info about granulocytes. Thanks for writing!
AHG is made with bunny rabbit blood :(
a little bit sad because i am an asian and i feel a little discriminated about the discussions though rare on asians and mainly focused on caucasians and african-americans, There are also asians on US and they can be your patients at least a minute % possibility and i know it's the same procedure to be done at any race. Anyways, thank you.
+Maria Macalincag Thanks for your thoughts. I feel badly about what you said, but unfortunately, much of the literature in blood banking tends to make an issue about differences between hose of European and African descent, and less distinctions are made about those of Asian descent. This also tends to be true on certification exams in the US. So, my apologies; I certainly intend no offense, but I am focusing on things that tend to be high yield for exams here in the US.
My apologies Doctor I am fully aware of what really the purpose of your lectures. Some thoughts are spilled impulsively. My sincere thanks to all of your efforts on your program. More power to you and God bless you with more health to help many people around including me. salute!
