Answer #1

Ans. The universal donor is a person with 'O' blood group beacuse this person has no antigen present on the RBC which in turn doenot generate an immune response post infusion.

Ans. The universal recipient is a person with 'AB' type blood because this person has no antibodies present in the plasma, which in turn does not generate an immune response post infusion.

RBCs have antigens on their membranes.. ABO grouping is based on the presence or absence of two surface antigens on the RBCs namely A and B. Similarly, the plasma of different individuals also contain two natural antibodies called anti-A and anti-B. Group O red blood cells lack A ansd B antigen therefore the recipients antibodies cannot cause agglutination of the donor's RBCs. Persons with 'AB' group can accept blood from persons with AB as well as the othe groups of blood. This is because blood group AB lacks anti-A and anti-B antibodies and thus cannot agglutinate donor's red blood cells.
