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.
AB positive
Yes, AB positive is a universal acceptor
Blood type AB is considered the universal acceptor because individuals with this blood type can receive transfusions from individuals with any ABO blood type without experiencing an adverse reaction. This is because blood type AB individuals have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and do not have antibodies against these antigens.
AB+ is the the universal acceptor, which can receive any blood type. People with AB have no antibodies to react with either A or B blood antigen coat. O- is the universal donor, which can donate to anyone who needs blood as there are both AB antibodies.
People having the blood group AB positive are called 'universal acceptor' because both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, as well as anti-D antibodies are absent in there blood circulation. Hence, these people generally face no chances of agglutination when transfused with blood of whatever blood group.
AB isn't the universal donor, O is. AB is a universal acceptor because RBC (red blood cells) contain the A and B antigen (simply put, it is a marker on the cell) so the body accepts any blood type because it recognizes the antigens. O is the universal donor because it contains no antigens, so no immune system will attack it.
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+
If you are AB positive (AB+ is universal receiver for positive blood group) then you can receive blood from A+, B+ & O+ & if you are AB negative then you cn receive blood from A-, B- & O-.
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.
