Only those with AB blood. However people with AB blood can receive blood from any time: A, B, AB or O.
While this is the case, it is still critically important for AB+ blood types to donate. AB+ is the universal recipient of other blood types but also the universal donor for plasma. Plasma is used in the treatment of blood disorders because it contains clotting factors, glucose, proteins, in helps in the regulation of electrolytes. Therefore AB+ blood is almost as highly sought as O-.

Why you can give patients with group A blood with group O?
Group A blood types have A antibodies attached to their blood cells. Group B blood types have B antibodies attached to their blood cells. If you give a group A blood type a transfusion with type B blood, their body will attack the type B blood cells after sensing foreign antibodies. Since Group O does not have any antibodies attached to the blood cells, you can give it to type A. Type A will not detect foreign antibodies since group O has no antibodies, and therefore, the body will accept the type O blood. All Medical Answers need confirmation and re-confirmation.
Could a father with a blood group ab have a child that is O blood group?

What transfusion would i give if i had type B blood?
to blood group B and AB.
If you have AB blood type what group could give blood to?
The AB blood type is known as the universal recipient. Therefore, the groups that a person with this blood type can give blood to are limited. If your blood is AB+, then you can only give to others with AB+ blood. If your blood is AB-, then you can give to people with both AB+ or AB- blood.
Why you must know your blood group?
It is important to know your ''blood type'' (as it is referred to) because if you need blood, your body will only accept the blood that is your ''blood type'' Another reason, is that if you ever have the need to ''give'' blood, you can only ''give'' blood to someone who has your ''blood type''. It is advisable to carry around a card with blood type, in case of an emergency and you need blood. It will save time having the labs take your blood and test it while you might be dying.
Who can i give blood to if I'm type ABO?
there are no blood type as ABO there are practically 4 types of blood groups i.e. A, B, AB and O O blood group can donate blood to all other groups A can give to A and AB B can give to B and AB AB blood group can only give blood to AB only but can receive blood from all other groups
Why is knowledge of ones blood group essential during blood transfusion?
If you give someone the wrong blood type then the body rejects it and the white blood cells will "think" its a cell that will harm so they will attack and cause clots to appear in the blood stream.

Why are my twins blood group different to mine. My twins are Blood group A neg I am O rh pos How could this happen Also what are the origins of my sons blood?
The other parent must have type A or type AB blood. That combined with yours to give genotype AO, which gives your twins type A blood because O is recessive. Blood is made in the bone marrow. (someone else will have to help about rhesus factors, I don't know enough about them)
Can someone who is of AB positive blood type receive other types of blood?
Only AB negative. If it's anything else, it won't work because the immune system targets unknown cells. If it only knows AS neg., then it will attack A or B. Whereas Blood type O is the "universal donor", it can be donated to anyone or anyone with it can receive blood from anyone. I forget why although i learned it in bio earlier this year
Why it is necessary to know the blood group of donor before giving blood to the patient?
Because not every one has the same blood type and you need to know what blood type your giving to the recipiant of the blood because if you give some one the wrong blood type you can kill them.
