A person with blood group AB is called a universal recipient because their plasma contains
- A. neither anti A nor anti B antibodies
- B. both anti A and anti B antibodies
- C. only anti A antibodies
- D. no red cell antigens
Explanation
With A and B antigens on their own cells, AB individuals make no antibodies against either, so they can receive cells of any group. Universal donors, group O, sit at the opposite end of the logic.
