Question
Why is blood group AB described as a universal recipient?
Answer
The term universal recipient refers to an individual who can receive blood from donors of any blood type without experiencing an immune reaction. In the ABO blood grouping system, the universal recipient has blood type AB.
AB receives blood from all blood groups without agglutination since it lacks antibodies that would correspond to donor's antibodies.
