No. Transfusions are categorized into different blood types. ABO blood types are the largest group. A person can have A, B, AB, or O type. The O is considered the universal donor and the AB is the universal recipient. That means that O is the preferred blood type of a person that is donating blood because it can be transfused into any other blood type. The AB is the preferred recipient because they can receive any of the blood types and not reject the agglutinogens, which are the proteins on the outside of red blood cells.
