The O blood type has no antigen, therefore A and B may both receive without any reaction

Neutralization
Why is blood type is the universal donor?
AB isn't the universal donor, O is. AB is a universal acceptor because RBC (red blood cells) contain the A and B antigen (simply put, it is a marker on the cell) so the body accepts any blood type because it recognizes the antigens. O is the universal donor because it contains no antigens, so no immune system will attack it.
Why is blood type AB the universal donor?
AB isn't the universal donor, O is. AB is a universal acceptor because RBC (red blood cells) contain the A and B antigen (simply put, it is a marker on the cell) so the body accepts any blood type because it recognizes the antigens.

What risk of heart attack do cardiac patients who smoke have?
Cardiac patients who smoke are twice as likely to have a heart attack in the following five years than non-smoking patients.
Why the A antibody of the AB recipient does not atack the donor A antigen on blood?
Having AB blood means you already have both A and B antigens in your organisms, so you DON'T have the antibodies, the A antigen doesn't affect the AB recipient 'cause it doesn't consider it as foreign (it's the same for the B antigen)

If you have antibody what you have to do?
Antibody are generated in our body due to attack of any foreign particle known as antigen. Antibodies are produced to provide immunity against that antigen so that if in future that pathogen or antigen again enter in our body then antibody get activate and fight with pathogen to kill it and defend us from disease.
Which of the following initiates an attack against a specific antigen or pathogen?
Plasma Cell initiate attacks against specific antigens. Plasma cells are B cells bearing specific antibodies for binding to a specific antigen.

Do white blood cells act as an antigens?
No, while some whte blod cells will attack and 'eat' invading patjhogens, an 'antigen' is a molicule.
What molecule is connected to the surface of pathogens?
An antigen is a molecule that is located on viruses, bacteria, cancer cells, and other pathogens. An antigen is very specific to each pathogen. A flu antigen is different from a pneumonia antigen, and an HIV antigen is different from a measles antigen. I like to think of an antigen as a lock, understanding that all locks are different and very specific. The key that fits these antigen locks is called an antibody. Antibodiesare found on certain types of white blood cells that our body produces. Antibody-producing white blood cells are called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes travel around our body and attach antibodies to pathogen antigens. Once an antigen has an antibody attached to it, phagocytes attack the pathogen, engulf it, and kill it. Sometimes the antibody disables the pathogen so that it cannot reproduce or release toxins.SourceBYU Course BIOL 049 Lesson 3
