People with type AB+ blood have no anti-A, anti-B, or anti-Rh antibodies, so they can
receive all blood types without agglutination, whereas people with O- blood lack A, B,
and Rh antigens and can only receive O- blood to prevent an immune response which
are mediated by agglutinins produced by B cells.
