Briefly describe the development of central tolerance to myelin. Central tolerance to myelin is established through a series of steps: 1) understanding the role of myelin and central tolerance, 2) T cell development and central tolerance processes in the thymus, 3) the role of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) in presenting self-antigens, 4) the presentation of myelin-derived self-antigens (such as MBP and PLP) by mTECs to eliminate self-reactive T cells during negative selection, and 5) the consequences of impaired central tolerance, such as autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). This process is essential in preventing the immune system from targeting the individual's own neural tissues, avoiding autoimmunity.
