Cytokine

T cell
One type of white blood cell that attacks virus infected cells, foreign cells, and cancer cells. T cells are immune system cells that develop in the thymus gland. T cells also produce a number of substances that regulate the immune response. Findings suggest that T cells are implicated in myelin destruction. T cells also called T lymphocyte.
Myelin
(Pronounced - MY-eh-lin)
A fatty covering insulating nerve cell fibers in the brain and spinal cord, myelin facilitates the smooth, high-speed transmission of electrochemical messages between these components of the central nervous system and the rest of the body. In MS, myelin is damaged through a process known as demyelination, which results in distorted or blocked signals.
