There are two principle subgroups of A. A1 and A2. Approximately 80 percent of group a or group ab individuals have red cells that are agglutinated by by anti A1 or A1B. So generally if someone is being referred to as A or AB then they are saying it's an A1 subtype. In terms of transfusion requirements A2 or A2B testing is generally unnecessary for donors or recipients. Both subtypes react strongly with the Anti-A reagent used to type patients and is generally not cared about during routine transfusions. You'll still get AB blood regardless of your subtype. So the short answer, is basically, yes they are the same thing.
