Abstract

When the immune system is under stress it can be stimulated by growth hormone. At a recent meeting*, scientists and clinicians discussed the potential for human growth hormone to act as an immunomodulator in T-cell deficiency states such as after cancer treatment, after bone marrow transplantation and during anti-retroviral therapy in AIDS.
