A universal recipient has the blood group
-
- B
- AB
- A
- O
Correct Option: B
Individuals with type O blood are often called universal donors, and those with type AB blood are called universal recipients. Blood group Oindividuals do not have either A or B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, and their blood serum contains IGM anti-A and anti-B antibodies. Therefore, a group O individual can receive blood only from a group O individual, but can donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (i.e., A, B, O or AB).
