The Kidd system antibodies are characteristically difficult to detect. They show variability in immunoglobulin class, subclass and serological characteristics. They are generally detected by an antiglobulin test, using a polyspecific antiglobulin or complement antiserum. Often, the antibodies are only detected using cells with a double dose (homozygous) expression of Kidd antigens, enzyme-treated cells or by using sensitive immunohaematological techniques.
