O positive and O negative can only receive from the same type of O. O is considered to be a universal donor, while AB is considered to be a universal receiver. A however, is neither, which means that it can only receive from O and other A's.

Any A blood group has antigen b, while any O has antigen a and b. When a person with blood group A transfer the blood to O, antigen b from both sides meet and co-aggutation occurs (i.e the blood clotts within the receiver). this act can be fatal
