In this paper, we propose to determine the red cell Rh and Kell blood groups among blood donors from traditional techniques to improve medical care of transfused patients. This study will allow us to assess the frequency of blood group antigens in these systems. <jats:italic>Study Design and Methods<\/jats:italic>. We carried out a study on the red cell typing in the blood donor population of the National Blood Transfusion Center in Abidjan. This study was performed on 651 blood donors. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. For the Rh system, the antigen frequencies of D, c, e, C, and E are, respectively, 92.93%, 99.85%, 99.85%, 21.97%, and 13.82%. K antigen is found in 0.77% of donors. <jats:italic>Discussion and Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Although the frequencies of the most immunogenic antigens are lower than in the white race, lack of preventive measures makes the immunological risk high in Africa. Furthermore, Africa is full of specificities that are important to note for a better care of our patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/309817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,24]],"date-time":"2014-09-24T21:01:20Z","timestamp":1411592480000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Phenotypic Profile of Rh and Kell Blood Group Systems among Blood Donors in Cote d\u2019Ivoire, West Africa"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Siransy Bogui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Blood Transfusion Center, 52 boulevard de Marseille, BP 15 Abidjan, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"},{"name":"Laboratory of Immunology, UFR of Medical Sciences, BP 34 Abidjan 01, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Dembele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Blood Transfusion Center, 52 boulevard de Marseille, BP 15 Abidjan, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"},{"name":"Laboratory of Immunology, UFR of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences, BP 34 Abidjan 01, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Sekongo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Blood Transfusion Center, 52 boulevard de Marseille, BP 15 Abidjan, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"},{"name":"Laboratory of Immunology, UFR of Medical Sciences, BP 34 Abidjan 01, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Abisse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Blood Transfusion Center, 52 boulevard de Marseille, BP 15 Abidjan, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"},{"name":"Laboratory of Immunology, UFR of Medical Sciences, BP 34 Abidjan 01, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Konat\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Blood Transfusion Center, 52 boulevard de Marseille, BP 15 Abidjan, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Sombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Immunology, UFR of Medical Sciences, BP 34 Abidjan 01, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"},{"name":"Hospital and University Centre of Cocody, BP 1843 Abidjan 08, Cote d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1744-313X.2011.01064.x","volume":"39","year":"2012","journal-title":"International Journal of Immunogenetics"},{"issue":"1","key":"2","first-page":"22","volume":"50","year":"2003","journal-title":"M\u00e9decine d'Afrique Noire"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1744-313X.2009.00842.x"},{"issue":"2","key":"3","first-page":"64","volume":"9","year":"2008","journal-title":"International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tracli.2007.12.008"},{"issue":"1","key":"12","first-page":"23","volume":"29","year":"2000","journal-title":"African Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1744-313X.2012.01120.x"},{"issue":"3","key":"13","first-page":"313","volume":"20","year":"2013","journal-title":"Transfusion Clinique et Biologiqu"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5045\/br.2013.48.1.51"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transci.2011.07.006"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2004.03338.x"},{"key":"6","year":"2002"},{"key":"15","first-page":"65","volume":"28","year":"1981","journal-title":"M\u00e9decine d'Afrique Noire"},{"key":"16","first-page":"11","volume":"13","year":"1979","journal-title":"Annales de l'Universit\u00e9 d'Abidjan.
