Generally the only time blood type compatability is important is during a blood transfusion. At this time it is essential that the recipient be given a blood type they are compatible with to avoid a fatal reaction. A person with AB blood can receive blood for anyone. A person with A blood can only receive blood from someone who has either A or O blood. Similarly a type B person can receive only from type B or O. A type O person can donate to any bloodtype, but can only receive from another type O person.

When the body encounters types of blood it is not familiar with, it makes antibodies to attack it. That's why O- is the universal donor. O means it has neither A or B components, and the negative means it does not have specific receptor proteins on it. That's also why someone AB+ can have any type of blood, because the body is used to A components, B components, and receptor proteins.

What would happen if you were given the wrong type of blood?
This depends on your blood type and the blood type you are given. Blood types are actually much more complex then the ABO, Rh pos system. These are only they types most likely to cause a reaction. Blood transfusion can be very dangerous. Before a transfusion, a test called a crossmatch is performed to see if the two blood types are compatible. Even if the ABO, and Rh types are the same, the blood may not be compatible.
