The Universal blood recipient would be somebody who is AB+. This is because they carry both A and B blood types and have a positive Rh factor. This means they can receive A, B, or O blood types of any Rh factor.

On the other hand, a universal donor would be anyone with Type O, Rh negative blood, (a.k.a. O- or O-Neg). Just about anybody can receive O-neg without risking a serious reaction, which is why it is in high-demand in trauma situations where the patient might need stat blood replacement, but there isn't enough time to type and crossmatch.

They don't..."mix". They are not compatible. Your body would reject it. This would happen with anything (e.g. blood group A transmitted to B, B to O, O to A).

Type AB+ blood is considered the "universal recipient" because people with this type can receive any blood type.


Why blood ab is the universal acceptor?

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.
