Person with blood group AB is considered as universal recipient because he has:

1. both A and B antigens on RBC but no antibodies in the plasma.
2. both A and B antibodies in the plasma.
3. no antigen on RBC and no antibody in the plasma.
4. both A and B antigens in the plasma but no antibodies.

Correct answer: both A and B antigens on RBC but no antibodies in the plasma.

Solution

AB blood group individuals have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, so their plasma does not contain anti-A or anti-B antibodies. That means they can receive red cells from any ABO group without agglutination.
