Blood group O is the universal donor, ie it can be donated to people with type A, B or AB (and O of course) blood with minimal agglutination (except if the rhesus factor is not compatible with the recipient's). This is due to the absence of antigen A and B on the red blood cells of people with blood type O. Therefore when a person having type A blood receives type O blood, there wouldn't be any agglutination reaction between the antibody A present in type A blood (commonly known as anti-A) with the blood cells from the person with type O blood.
