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.
The secondary immune response occurs the second time (3rd, 4th, etc.) the person is exposed to the same antigen. At this point immunological memory has been established and the immune system can start making antibodies immediately.
This generally indicates that the immunogen has been eliminated from the body and consequently there is no stimulus for continued antibody production. When a similar antigen enters the host for the second and subsequent times, the immune responses induced are called secondary immune responses. During secondary immune responses the lag period is shortened and antibody level reaches a very high steady state level within few days.
