Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If you have type B blood, you cannot get type A or AB red blood cells. If you have type AB blood, you can get transfusions of O, A, B, or AB red blood cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
