No, a Type AB blood donor could not give to a Type O recipient.
The A & B refer to antigens, or proteins, on the surface of the red blood cells. Type O people have neither A nor B antigens, thus, their body rejects the donor blood, which has both A and B antigens.
Here is a chart:
Type Given Can Receive:
O O, A, B, AB
A A, AB
B B, AB
AB AB
This is not exactly correct, but for the intents of your question, it should serve. The exact blood types would be O, A plus, A minus, B plus, B minus, AB plus, and AB minus.
