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 AB
- B gives to B and AB
- O gives to A, B, and AB
- A can receive only A and O
- B receives B and O
- O receives only O
- AB receives all
Now the above list is correct except that...You match your positive or negative signs as well. There you have it.
