What blood type can a person with AB blood type receive?
The short and sweet answer is no, they cannot. The reason behind it is because AB blood also has the antigens of B blood and since B and A are unmixable, AB and A is as well. Now Type A blood and give to type AB blood since A is in the name. A good rule of thumb with donations is that if your blood type is the other persons blood type then you can give to them. The exception is O in which case you can give to any type as long as they match + or -. However O can only receive from O. It is rather confusing but it boils down to this.A gives to A and ABB gives to B and ABO gives to A, B, and ABA can receive only A and OB receives B and OO receives only OAB receives allNow the above list is correct except that...You match your positive or negative signs as well. There you have it.

O, B, A, and AB This is because the AB blood molecules have both the A and B antigens. These antigins mean that the cells don't attack cells with either A or B present. The body made no antibodies because neither A nor B are seen as foreign antigens. Without the worry of antibodies attacking transfused blood, the current blood will accept any type of new blood. Although depending on the + or -, there still could be problems.

No, you can only receive your blood type when you get a blood transfusion.
