People with type AB+ blood are universal recipients because they have no antibodies to A, B or Rh in their blood and can receive red blood cells from a donor of any blood type. Plasma transfusions are matched to avoid A and B antibodies in the transfused plasma that will attack the recipient's red blood cells.
