. The serum from a 50‐year‐old woman, Mrs. Côté, was found to agglutinate all cell samples except her own, those of two siblings, and K o erythrocytes. Her Kell phenotype is a common one: K‐k+, Kp(a‐b+), Js(a‐b+), Ul(a‐), K:12, K:13, K:14, K:18. Anti‐K11 present in her serum defines a high‐frequency red cell antigen that is related to the Kell system.
