A person with blood group AB can receive red blood cells of any ABO blood group. What is the reason?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → The plasma has neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies.
The red blood cells of group AB carry both antigens A and B, and its plasma has no anti-A or anti-B antibodies. So donor red cells of any ABO group are not attacked, and AB is called the universal recipient.
