Lack of antigen in his blood.<\/p>\n<p>A person with AB blood group has both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, but they do not have any antibodies against either A or B antigens. This means that they can receive blood from any blood group, as their body will not reject the donated blood.<\/p>\n<p>Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells. There are four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. People with type A blood have A antigens on their red blood cells, people with type B blood have B antigens, people with type AB blood have both A and B antigens, and people with type O blood have neither A nor B antigens.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to antigens, blood also contains antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that the body produces to fight off infection. If a person receives blood that contains antigens that their body does not have, their immune system will attack the donated blood. This can lead to a serious condition called transfusion reaction.<\/p>\n<p>Because people with AB blood do not have any antibodies against A or B antigens, they can receive blood from any blood group. This makes them universal recipients. However, people with AB blood can only donate blood to other people with AB blood.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps!
