	<p><strong>ROCKVILLE, MD, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2019</strong> /<a dir="auto" href="http://www.einpresswire.com/" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">EINPresswire.com</a>/ -- American Gene Technologies (AGT) recently signed a Research Collaboration Agreement with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, for research studies on <a href="http://bit.ly/2Gon2ON" target="_blank" rel="external nofollow noopener">AGT’s cell and gene therapy for HIV/AIDS</a>. AGT uses its proprietary, genetically modified, autologous cell product (AGT103-T) to reconstitute the immune response against HIV with the goal of reducing persistent viral reservoirs and achieving sustained virologic remission in infected individuals in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. Under this collaboration agreement, NIAID researchers will study the mechanism of action for AGT103-T to define its potential impacts on HIV disease.</p>
