Abstract

Polynucleotide encoding modified HIV Env polypeptides are disclosed. The Env polypeptides are modified in the region of amino acids 420-436 so as to expose at least part of the CD4 binding region. Methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention using the polynucleotides and polypeptides are also provided.
