Caption

A pig highly allergic to soybeans shows a strong response to an injection of allergenic protein (left, bottom right), while a less allergic pig only shows a response at the injection site (top right). Pigs can be useful models of soybean allergy in people to help test low-allergenicity versions of soybeans.
