description In this second article of a series about the pathogenetical theory "N-factor/Anergic Margin" of hanseniasis, the first sympathethic editorial reactions (1938-1940) and the general acceptance of the theory (1943-1977) are reviewed. Acceptance under modified terminology ("potential immunity", `inherited ability to destroy bacteria or form granuloma", etc. — for the N-factor"; "defect of cell-mediated immunity", "constitutional inaptitude to react", etc., for the "Anergic Margin"), will be reviewed in the third article of the series, together with the author's rebuttals to criticisms.
