Abstract:
The invention encompasses methods for enhancing the ability of a companion animal to resist and/or overcome viral infections. The methods of the invention include an amount of lipoic acid that is effective in enhancing the antiviral immunity of a companion animal.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of determining treatment of a companion animal having a viral infection, the method comprising:\n measuring one or more genes expressed in a biological sample of the companion animal before and after administering the pet food composition to the companion animal; determining a differential between the expression of the one or more genes in the biological sample of the companion animal before and after administering the pet food composition to the companion animal to indicate treatment of the viral infection, wherein the differential between the expression of the one or more genes in the biological sample of the companion animal before and after administrating the pet food composition is a statistically significant increase of at least a 20% change in expression with a p-value of less than 0.05, and wherein the one or more genes comprises one or more of CREB-binding protein (CREBBP), Interferon-induced double stranded RNA-activated protein (EIF2AK2), interferon-alpha/beta receptor beta chain precursor (IFNAR2), interferon-gamma receptor beta chain precursor (IFNGR2), interferon regulatory factor 9 (IFR9), Tyrosine protein kinase JAK2 (JAK2), 2-5A-dependent ribonuclease (RNASEL), or combinations thereof.
