The blood type AB is a universal receiver meaning it can receive blood from blood types A, B, AB, and O.
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.
AB can receive any blood type (depending whether you are - or +)
AB+ is the universal recipient.
If a person has AB type blood then they can receive any type of blood. A extra factor you have to take into account is whether they are AB positive or AB negative. An AB+ person can take any blood while an AB- person can take any blood as long as its negative. For a chart showing the blood type compatibility see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_types#Red_blood_cell_compatibility
I am blood typr AB+ and i donate. The only type I can receive is AB+
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.
A person with blood type AB positive is considered the universal recipient as they can receive blood from any blood type, including A, B, AB, and O, without adverse reactions. This is because they have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and no antibodies against these antigens.
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.
Because people with AB blood can receive blood from any donor, regardless of their blood type.
Blood type A can receive a transfusion from blood types A and AB.
FALSE B CAN ONLY RECEIVEVE O AND B SAFELY BECAUSE OF THAT A IN AB, THEMPERSON CAN'T RECEIVE IT
O, B, A, and AB This is because the AB blood molecules have both the A and B antigens. These antigins mean that the cells don't attack cells with either A or B present. The body made no antibodies because neither A nor B are seen as foreign antigens. Without the worry of antibodies attacking transfused blood, the current blood will accept any type of new blood. Although depending on the + or -, there still could be problems.
