Conformational plasticity of the HIV-1 gp41 immunodominant region is recognized by multiple non-neutralizing antibodies

The 15-amino-acid primary immunodominant (PID) region on HIV-1 gp41 adopts an ensemble of conformational states. This conformational plasticity is suggested to misdirect the early humoral immune response.
