Type ab blood can receive types a, b, ab, and o blood, not just type ab blood. Type ab is known as the "universal receiver", as it can receive any blood type, while type o is the "universal donor", meaning type o can be given to any person.

What blood type can a person with AB blood type receive?

The short and sweet answer is no, they cannot. The reason behind it is because AB blood also has the antigens of B blood and since B and A are unmixable, AB and A is as well. Now Type A blood and give to type AB blood since A is in the name. A good rule of thumb with donations is that if your blood type is the other persons blood type then you can give to them. The exception is O in which case you can give to any type as long as they match + or -. However O can only receive from O. It is rather confusing but it boils down to this.A gives to A and ABB gives to B and ABO gives to A, B, and ABA can receive only A and OB receives B and OO receives only OAB receives allNow the above list is correct except that...You match your positive or negative signs as well. There you have it.
