Since the antibodies in blood group AB are absent, the donor's RBC in the recipient's body will not agglutinate because agglutination will occur when the natural antibodies of the pasma of the recipient's body will react with the foriegn antigen.

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. O is the universal donor because it contains no antigens, so no immune system will attack it.
