This update of the Ok (OK) blood group system (Smart EA, Storry JR. The OK blood group system: a review. Immunohematology 2010;26:124–6) focuses on new information on the role of basigin (BSG), the carrier molecule of the Ok blood group antigens. No further antigens have been identified since the original review. However, the role of BSG in malaria continues to be explored. Immunohematology 2021;37:18–19.
