the blood group o does not have any antigen for other blood groups so it does not cause any immunological problem that is why it can transfuse universally. Donors of Blood group O were always referred to as 'universal donors.' Today, because of new research and a better understanding of the complex issues regarding immune reaction related to incompatible donor Blood cells, type O Blood is no longer automatically seen as being suitable in most every case.

Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
