The effect of rifampicin on scratching behavior, serum IgE, and IL-4 levels in AD-induced NC/Nga mice. The AD-induced mice were observed 7 days after oral rifampicin administration. Dexamethasone (1 mg/kg) was used as a positive control. (A) Scratching behavior and (B) serum IL-4 and IgE levels were measured at the indicated times. Experimental values are given as means ± SEM (n=5). *p<0.05, **p<0.01, when compared with the AD-induced and untreated mice.
