    abstract = {Almond is a plant with a scientific name <I>Prunus amygdolus</I>. This plant 
  has much medical effects that is the most important increase of immune system 
  potential. In this research, the effect of <I>Prunus amygdolus</I> extract on 
  blood protein concentration was investigated in mice (Balb/C). In this research, 
  50 mice were divided casually in 5 groups (control, placebo and 3 care groups). 
  The extract was obtained in 50, 100 and 200 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> dosages, in an 
  Inner Peritoneum (IP) method was injected, respectively to the 3 care groups 
  for 20 days. The control group did not receive any extract. The placebo group 
  received normal saline for 20 days. Then blood samples were collected of all 
  mice by blood to the heart and albumin, &#945;-1 and 2, &#946; and &#947; globulin 
  were analyzed in the level p&lt;0.05 with the statistical software SPSS in p&lt;0.05. 
  The study showed that the concentration of &#945;-1 in all groups and &#946; 
  globulin in 50 and 100 groups increased but &#945;-2 and &#947; globulin in 
  all groups decrease significantly (p&lt;0.05). Albumin concentration decrease 
  in 200 group significantly (p&lt;0.05). These findings indicate <I>Prunus amygdolus</I> 
  extract has effect on blood protein concentration and immune system function 
  dose dependently.}
