Universal receiver is O positive type blood. Individuals with type AB positive blood can also receive blood from any group, but can donate blood only to another AB type. A group A individual can receive blood only from individuals of groups A or O, and can donate blood to individuals with type A or AB.

A group B person can receive blood only from individuals with groups B or O and can donate blood to types B or AB.

Blood group O persons can receive blood only from a group O individual but can donate blood to individuals who have A, B, O or AB.

This is why blood type must be carefully checked by medical personnel prior to authorizing a transfusion. Some people store up their own type in hospitals in case of accidents. Hospitals also keep all types on hand in the form of plasma, Plasma can be easily utilized on the battlefield.
