            Form S-3
            File No. 333-186103


      CEL-SCI Corporation (the "Company") requests that the effective date of
the above captioned Registration Statement be accelerated to February 28, 2013,
4:30 P.M. Eastern time, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

      The Company understands that:

     o    should the  Commission  or the staff,  acting  pursuant  to  delegated
          authority,  declare the filing  effective,  it does not  foreclose the
          Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

     o    the  action  of  the  Commission  or the  staff,  acting  pursuant  to
          delegated  authority,  in  declaring  the filing  effective,  does not
          relieve the Company from its full  responsibility for the adequacy and
          accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

     o    the  Company  may not assert the  declaration  of  effectiveness  as a
          defense in any  proceeding  initiated by the  Commission or any person
          under the federal securities laws of the United States.

                                      Very Truly Yours,

                                      CEL-SCI CORPORATION


                                     /s/ Patricia B. Prichep

                                     Patricia B. Prichep, Senior Vice President
                                        of Operations
