Provided herein are methods and compositions related to Prevotella bacteria for the reduction of IL-8, IL-6, IL-Iβ, and/C or TNFα expression and/or for the treatment of viral infections.

Managing and treating elevated OS biomarkers in mammals such as companion animals with at least one of the supplements alpha-lipoic acid, carnitine, co-enzyme Q-10, ginger, green tea, licorice, milk thistle, garlic, honey. resveratrol, soybeans, tomatoes, turmeric, vitamin D, vitamin E, or selenium. Other compounds are Zinc, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Quercetin, L-glutamine and Robuvit. Diagnosing an oxidative stress (OS) in a mammal detects an OS biomarker, selectively isoprostane and other antioxidant biomarkers such as HODE, microRNAs, TAC, GSH, MDA, and TNF-alpha. The sample can be saliva.

Diagnosing an oxidative stress (OS) in companion animals comprises screening a bodily fluid sample to detect the presence of an OS biomarker, selectively isoprostane and antioxidants, HODE, microRNAs, TAC, GSH, MDA, and TNF-alpha. The sample can be saliva.

Described herein are compositions and methods for the delivery of microbial therapeutics useful for the treatment of disorders related to intestinal dysbiosis.

The present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing TDP-43 proteinopathies, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemperal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The present invention also relates to methods of diagnosing TDP-43 proteinopathies.

The present disclosure provides partially mature and activated dendritic cells that produce levels of cytokines/chemokines, for example, one or any combination of and/or all of IL-6, IL-8, IL-12 and/or TNF?, that are correlated with improved clinical outcomes, significantly increased survival times and significantly increased times to tumor or cancer recurrence. The determined threshold amounts of these cytokines can be used for (i) a immunotherapeutic potency test for activated dendritic cells, (ii) selecting responder patients, (iii) rejecting non-responder patients, and (iv) to screen for dendritic cell activation or maturation agents that can also induce the production of the threshold amount of the cytokines/chemokines.
