Blood type O.
If your ABO blood type is AB, you could potentially give blood to individuals with blood types A, B, AB, and O, as long as there are no other significant blood type incompatibilities. The AB blood type is known as the universal plasma donor because it lacks ABO antibodies in the plasma.
To find out your blood type you will need to either: A) donate blood and receive a donor's card or B) get a blood typing test.As far as the universal blood type goes type AB positive can donate plasma to any blood type, but O is considered the "universal donor" because it can give red blood cells to any type.
Well for starters we would have to see what RH group you are in you see AB+ can receive blood from people that are A+ A- B+ B- O+ O- AB+ AB- but can only give to people that are AB+.If you are AB- you can receive from blood types A- B- O- and AB- but you can give to people that are AB+ and AB-.
About a pint.
Since the antibodies in blood group AB are absent, the donor's RBC in the recipient's body will not agglutinate because agglutination will occur when the natural antibodies of the pasma of the recipient's body will react with the foriegn antigen.
Definitely not! They are both different types of blood. consult a doctor before you do this. I do believe that O+ blood is universal, although I'm not 100% certain. <><><><><> O- is the universal donor. AB+ is the universal recipient. At least that's true for packed red blood cells. It backwards from that for plasma.
only O negative blood is called the universal donor. This is because people with this blood type have the ability to donate their blood to ANY other blood type. Blood donation is a complex process and only certain types can receive certain types. O neg is the one blood type that can give to anyone (however, they can only RECEIVE from O neg)
No. You would have to be a O blood type. That is the "universal" blood donor. The best kind.
Type O negative blood does not have A or B antigens on its red blood cells, making it the universal donor blood type. It contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma to help fight against foreign antigens of blood types A and B during transfusions.
Nope. People with AB blood are universal recipients, which means they can get blood from any donor. People with blood type O are universal donors, they can give blood to people of all other blood types.
universal donor
Yes, a person with AO genotype can donate blood to a person with blood type O because type O can receive blood from A and O blood types. The A from the donor's blood will not cause a reaction with the recipient's O blood.
