ABSTRACT:
HIV-1 envelope muteins are provided comprising deletions within the hypervariable domains of the polypeptides. Methods of using these proteins in immunoassay and to elicit antibody production are also disclosed, as well as materials and methods useful for producing the muteins by recombinant DNA technology.
