the Letters A and B stand for the antigen present in the blood. If no antigen is present it is called type O. A (B) type blood would produce antibodies against A blood. For the body to except foreign blood (FB), the FB must not have the antigen that is different the the bodies antigen
so a person with type A blood can receive blood from a person of blood type A, or O

Also, the type B person's blood has type A antibodies, which would cause a smaller-scale destruction of the type A person's red blood cells.
