Histamine is the best known pruritogen in humans and the most commonly used experimental itch-causing substance. It induces increased itch responses in the lesional skin of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients compared with normal skin (Ikoma et al., 2006). However, histamine H1 receptor (H1R) antagonists frequently fail to relieve the itch in AD patients as well as it does in patients with systemic diseases such as kidney and liver diseases. The lack of amelioration by high-potency H1R antagonists of different types in patients with itch suggests that other systems are involved (Ikoma et al., 2006; Ständer and Weisshaar, 2012). Involvement of histamine H4 receptor (H4R) in histamine-evoked itch in animal models has been reported (Dunford et al., 2007; Thurmond et al., 2008).However, the therapeutic efficacy of H4R antagonists on the H1R antagonistresistant itch in AD is poorly understood. We therefore examined the therapeutic effects of H4R antagonists on itch and skin inflammation in AD using NC/Nga mice, a mouse model of AD that has been previously described
