The virus injects its DNA into the host cells nucleus, leaving instructions for building more viruses. The host cell is unable to distinguish between the viral DNA and its own DNA. The cell will continue to make more viruses until it bursts, releasing the viruses into the body to infect more cells. An uninfected cell does not typically use much of the amino acid, arginine, while infected cells use a lot of arginine to make more viruses. The cells natural chemical process that uses arginine is limited by the amount of L-lysine (another amino acid) available. By giving your cat daily L-lysine supplements, you increase the amount of L-lysine available for your cats cells to use, which means the cell uses more arginine for its natural functions. This leaves less arginine available for the production of the feline herpes virus, thus slowing the growth of the infection. By administering a daily L-lysine supplement, you can help both slow down the Herpes virus infection already present in your cat and prevent your cat from contracting future infections.
