ABSTRACT:
Methods for augmenting immune responses in immunodeficient individuals are disclosed. The methods utilize steroid hormones, particularly DHEA, its prohormones (particularly DHEA-S), and DHEA-cogeners. Additional embodiments of the invention include pharmaceutical compositions for use in the methods.
