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.
The universal donor blood type is O negative. This blood type can be given to individuals of any blood type. The universal receiver blood type is AB positive. This blood type can receive blood from individuals of any blood type.
Blood type O is the universal donor.
If you are AB positive (AB+ is universal receiver for positive blood group) then you can receive blood from A+, B+ & O+ & if you are AB negative then you cn receive blood from A-, B- & O-.
The four blood types are A, B, AB, and O. Blood type O is the universal donor because it does not have A or B antigens on its red blood cells. Blood type AB is the universal recipient as it does not have antibodies against A or B antigens.
AB+ is the universal receiver. O - is the universal donor.

Type O negative blood is a universal donor blood type. In normal circumstances, anyone can receive type O negative blood in a transfusion. When it comes to plasma donation, type AB positive is a universal donor.
blood type AB=universal blood recipient as it can receive any types ofblood. blood type O=universal blood donor as any types of blood can receivethe O type.
A universal donor (blood type O) has blood cells with no marker proteins that another body can not reject. Blood type AB, the universal receiver has all the marker proteins, so it can identify blood of any other type as its own.
Universal donor is Blood Type O because this blood type don't have antigen and it can be donated in the patient having any kind of blood type, while universal recipient is Blood Type AB because it does not have anti- body; Blood Type AB can receive any kind of blood type.
Because people with AB blood can receive blood from any donor, regardless of their blood type.
A universal donor can donate to any blood type. The only universal donor is 0 negative because it doesn't have an antigens. Antigens are things that fight off foreign objects in your body, like white blood cells. A universal recipient can receive any type of blood. The only universal recipient is AB positive.
