Type AB positive is the universal blood recipient. Blood cells have anitbodies on the surface that identify. A type blood has A-antibodies, B type blood has B-antibodies, AB type blood has both, and type O has none. When new blood comes into your body, the other cells will look for their antibodies, and if they don't recognize it, they will kill the incoming cells. Since AB type blood has both, it can receive both A and B, as well as O because it recognizes all of them. It can also receive it's own type. The positive part comes form the Rh factor, which acts like another antibody. It can accept all types.
There is no blood group that is considered as universal recipient. Blood type O individuals are considered to be universal donors.
ab
AB+ is the universal recipient.
The universal recipient blood type is AB. This blood type can receive A, B, AB, or O type bloods.
No. AB- is the rarest blood type and is not a universal recipient. Those who would be considered universal recipients are those with an AB+ blood type.
The four blood types are A, B, AB, and O. Blood type O is the universal donor because it does not have A or B antigens on its red blood cells. Blood type AB is the universal recipient as it does not have antibodies against A or B antigens.
Type AB POSITIVE is the universal red cell transfusion recipient. For plasma tranfusions, group O is the universal recipient.
No one blood type can be a recipient but O blood type can be given to anyone.
People with blood type O are universal donors, not universal recipients.
The universal recipient for blood would be AB+, including positive for the Rh (Rhesus) factor.
O-
AB+ is the universal recipient.
