Hi Jerry, A type AB Rh+ individual will not react to any kind of blood. He is a universal receiver while a type O Rh- is a universal donor. The ABO and the Rh systems are a way to classify blood serotypes in order to ensure a safe transfusion for everyone. The AB individual will never react to A, B or O blood types but an AB Rh- individual could react to Rh+ blood... For more information see: This previous answer... ...as well as this one... Hope this helped you! Mike
