Detailed explanation-1: -People with type AB+ blood are universal recipients because they have no antibodies to A, B or Rh in their blood and can receive red blood cells from a donor of any blood type. Plasma transfusions are matched to avoid A and B antibodies in the transfused plasma that will attack the recipient’s red blood cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -A person with type A blood receiving a transfusion of type B or AB blood would have an ABO incompatibility reaction. In an ABO incompatibility reaction, your immune system attacks the new blood cells and destroys them. If you have type AB blood, you have both A and B antigens.
Detailed explanation-3: -B positive patients can receive blood from B positive, B negative, O positive and O negative donors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Group B can donate red blood cells to B’s and AB’s. AB’s. Group O can donate red blood cells to anybody. It’s the universal donor.
