on with type ab blood receives a transfusion of type o blood. will there be a transfusion reaction? why or why not? yes: the recipient must receive blood of the same type as his or her own. yes: the anti-a and anti-b antibodies of the recipient clump and hemolyze the donated blood. no: the recipient has no antibodies to antigens a and b, and therefore can receive blood from a type o donor. no: the anti-a and anti-b antibodies of the recipient do not affect the donated blood, because type o blood has no a or b antigens.
A person with type AB blood is often called a universal receiver because they're blood produce antibodies. Though getting a transfusion from a person with type O blood is not ideal, it can work.
Blood type O does not have any antigens, so it doesn’t trigger an immune response in humans with other blood types. However, people with type O blood can receive only O blood because other blood types all contain antigens, which would trigger an immune response. People with AB blood are universal recipients because they have both A and B antigens. So, they can receive blood from A, B, AB, and O blood types.
