Abstract: The globulin, albumin, postalbumin, and prealbumin proteins of Apodemus flavicollis and Apodemus hermonensiswere examined by SDS-PAGE. In A. flavicollis and A. hermonensis respectively, 6-9 and 7-9 electrophoretic bands were determined in the globulin region, respectively. Both species have one band in the postalbumin zone, and two bands in the prealbumin zone. A. flavicollis differs from A. hermonensisin terms of postalbumin.

Keywords: Apodemus flavicollis, Apodemus hermonensis, serum proteins, SDS-PAGE.
