Solution

However, bacterial cells are found everywhere, throughout the body. They can be found on the skin, in the inner lining of our mouths, or the oesophagus. Furthermore, bacterial cells are also found in the intestines, and aid in digestion. Hence, antigens and antibodies are not part of the bacterial cells.
