AB blood type is Universal Recipient

Explanation:

Refer to the link: What are the four major blood groups?

Since, blood group AB has the presence of both surface antigens, A and B, a person with this group has no circulating antibodies against these antigens.

Hence, a person with it can receive blood from any group without the immune system mounting an immunological response.

For this reason, AB blood type is called Universal Recipient.
