Holy hell. Rajeev couldn't be more wrong. There are three main blood-type alleles (forms of a gene) and 4 blood type phenotypes. Well, phenotype is a bad word since there has really been no known advantage or physiological difference in blood groups for individuals (other than the very artificial case of transfusion). The blood types refer to an "antigen" or protein that decorates the surface of red blood cells, more of that in a minute.
The types are: A, B, O, AB.
If you have type A or B blood, you express that protein on the surface of your blood cells. If you have AB, you express both (one form from each parent). If you have type O blood, you don't have either A or B antigens on your blood cells.
Ok, now your body does not make antibodies against itself, right? Otherwise, you would develop an autoimmune disease (hemolytic aenemia).If you get infused with a blood type with an antigen that you lack, you will mount an immune response (because your immune system has no doubt seen the other types at some point in your life, from accidents with friends for example).
So for this reason:
A: can only receive A blood (has B antibodies).
B: can only receive B blood (has A antibodies).
AB: can receive any blood type (lacks antibodies against A or B, and O has no antigens). Their donated blood can only be used against others with AB though.
O: Can only receive O type blood (they mount immune response to A and B antigens). However, they are the universal donor, since they lack any antigens to mount responses against.
