Detailed explanation-1: -Group AB individuals have neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies in their plasma. Group AB plasma can therefore be given to patients of any ABO blood group and is often referred to as the universal plasma donor.
Detailed explanation-2: -An ABO incompatibility reaction can occur if you receive the wrong type of blood during a blood transfusion. It’s a rare but serious and potentially fatal response to incompatible blood by your immune system.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you have both A and B markers on the surface of your cells (type AB blood), your body does not need to fight the presence of either. This means that someone with AB blood can get a transfusion from someone with A, B, AB, or O blood.
Detailed explanation-4: -AB positive blood type is known as the “universal recipient” because AB positive patients can receive red blood cells from all blood types.
