Only AB negative. If it's anything else, it won't work because the immune system targets unknown cells. If it only knows AS neg., then it will attack A or B. Whereas Blood type O is the "universal donor", it can be donated to anyone or anyone with it can receive blood from anyone. I forget why although i learned it in bio earlier this year

∙ 14y agoNo, but someone with AB blood can receive from any other negative blood type
yes, people with AB+ blood group can receive AB- blood group. AB+ blood group is known as the universal blood group receiver. AB+ blood group has both A group & B group antigens. O blood group was originally known as 0 (zero) blood group, due to the lack of either A or B type antigens. O- blood group is known as the universal blood group donor, however people with O- blood group may only receive O- red blood cell products.

∙ 12y agoYour blood type actually makes you a universal recipient, meaning you can receive ANY type of blood. Most blood contains antibodies that limit the types of blood that can be given. For example, someone with type A blood has antibodies against the B antigen, and someone with type O blood has antibodies against both A and B antigens. But since you're AB, your blood contains no antibodies (against either A or B). Therefore, you can receive type O, A, B, or AB blood. Your blood is also Rh positive. This means that you can accept blood with or without the Rh factor. So basically, you have nothing to worry about, because no matter what blood type you receive, your body should accept it.
