Sir, if 'O'type bood group has both anti'a' and anti'b' , then how can it be transfuse with 'A' blood group. Won't it cause damage to RBC's of other person?

With regard to transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors, and those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients; however, these terms are only generally true with respect to possible reactions of the recipient's anti-A and anti – B 
so, the anti a and anti b will gng to bind with the receptors of o blood group , they will not going to destroy it

Just remember that the RBC cell surface contains A antigen and B antigen.
Similarly serum will develop antibodies against A are called as anti-A and against B are called as anti-B.
If the Blood Group O has both anti a and anti b then it will become AB blood group.
RBC-antigenA :A blood group
RBC-antigenB: B blood group
RBC-antigenA+B: AB blood group
RBC-Noantigen: O blood group
