There are several types of antigens, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Antigens can be found on the surface of pathogens like viruses and bacteria, as well as on the surface of foreign cells or substances that enter the body. They stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and mount an immune response.
