It is not that special, silly, it is just rare! Not many people have it, that's were all the fuss is about. So when you get an accident and need blood transfusion, you won't be to happy with your "special ab blood"... ;)

EDIT : the above answer is totally wrong ! AB blood group is a UNIVERSAL ACCEPTOR ....isn't that special ? so God forbids if an accident happened to an AB person..he/she can accept blood from any other blood group..though now they prefer to give the same blood group...but in extreme emergency AB can accept any blood group.

moreover it is rare....AB+ is nearly 2.5-3 % of humans and AB- is 0.6-1 %

It is very special whoever you are. They can exept all the blood types such as o, a, ab, b. But on the contrary ab pnegetive can only take negetive blood. Unlike ab positive wich can take positive and negetive.

Edit number 2:EDIT you are 100% correct. but ab is good to donate blood with it (o included).it is good because it so rare and not many people donate 100% clean ab or o blood type.

If all cells in your body start out life with the same inherited information on how to build proteins then what caused the differences between a red blood cell and a white one Between a white blood?

The differences in cell type arise from the process of selective gene expression, which means that different sets of genes are activated or repressed in each cell type. This results in the production of specific proteins and ultimately determines the cell's function and characteristics. For example, red blood cells express genes that make them specialized for oxygen transport, while white blood cells express genes that make them part of the immune system.
