| Research Abstract |
The precious mechanisms of itch in atopic dermatitis are unclear. Since T cells infiltrate into the skin with atopic dermatitis and the proteases are also involved in the severe itch, we focused proteases produced by T cells for demonstrating the itch mechanisms in the dermatitis. It was demonstrated that granzyme A, which is one of 11 subtypes of granzymes, elicited itch through the activation of proteinase-activated receptor 2
