The Japanese word for Japan is æ¥æ¬, which is pronounced Nippon or Nihon and literally means the origin of the sun. The earliest record of the name Nihon appears in the Chinese historical records of the Tang dynasty, the Old Book of Tang.
Primary versus Secondary Immune Response The primary immune response occurs the first time that the immune system comes in contact with the antigen.
Studies on immune responses in afferent and efferent lymph of lymph nodes draining the tissues have contributed to the concept that primary immune responses are generated in the lymph nodes with a delay before antigen-specific effector cells arrive at the affected tissue.
