Blood types A and B are incompatible because a type A person has naturally occurring Anti-B in his blood and a type B person has naturally occurring Anti-A. Thus a type A person can not receive blood from a type B person because the naturally occurring anti-A would destroy the type A person's red cells. The converse is true for a type B person who can not receive type A blood since the Anti-B found in the type A blood would destroy the type B person's red cells.

What two blood types are not compatible?

More than just two blood types are not compatible with each other. The four basic types of blood are: A, B, AB, O(not counting Rh). Type A blood can only receive blood from type A and type O. However, type A blood can donate their blood to type A and type AB. Type B blood can only receive blood from type B and type O. However, type B blood can donate their blood to type B and type AB. Type AB blood can receive blood from every type, A, B, AB, and O. However, type AB blood can only donate to other AB. Type O blood can only receive blood from type O. However, type O can donate their blood to A, B, AB, and O. So, AB is the "universal" reciepient and O is the "universal" donor.
