Because it can be virtually accepted by anyone with little to no complications.
He had blood type AB.
Type O- is actually the theoretical universal donor; type O+ cannot donate to everyone. Blood has two main types of protein markers; an ABO group, and an Rh factor. There are also smaller, less important factors, but these two are what donors need to have a generally successful blood transfusion. ABO group proteins show up as A or B, therefore creating blood that has both (AB) and blood that has neither (O) as well as type A and type B. The Rh factor then either shows up or doesn't, so if someone doesn't have the factor, their blood type is -(negative), and if they do, then their blood is +(positive). If a person with O- got any other type of blood, then the blood would see the proteins on the blood as foreign invaders and attack it, whereas AB+ can receive from anyone without disease.

Type O blood is considered to be the universal blood type. This is because it does not have either A or B antigens on the red cells. It does however contain the antibodies for each one in the plasma.
Universal.
Type AB positive is often referred to as the universal recipient because most people with this type of blood can receive any other type of blood given to them.
ab
blood type AB=universal blood recipient as it can receive any types ofblood. blood type O=universal blood donor as any types of blood can receivethe O type.
AB+
If you are AB positive (AB+ is universal receiver for positive blood group) then you can receive blood from A+, B+ & O+ & if you are AB negative then you cn receive blood from A-, B- & O-.
There are four different types of blood and each has their function. They are referred to as blood groups and they are A, B, AB and O. O is regarded as the universal donor while AB is the universal recipient. A and B are produced under the control of DNA.
No. AB- is the rarest blood type and is not a universal recipient. Those who would be considered universal recipients are those with an AB+ blood type.
The universal recipient blood type is AB. This blood type can receive A, B, AB, or O type bloods.
The four blood types are A, B, AB, and O. Blood type O is the universal donor because it does not have A or B antigens on its red blood cells. Blood type AB is the universal recipient as it does not have antibodies against A or B antigens.
The blood type AB is a universal receiver meaning it can receive blood from blood types A, B, AB, and O.
