Behavioral assay measures acute itch response in mice using pruritogen injections, suggesting a reliable assessment method.
Here we present a protocol for measuring mouse behavioral responses to acute itch stimuli. The experimenter injects mice intradermally with a pruritogen, then allows them to move freely within an enclosure. Behavior is recorded with HD video.
