hospitalized   patients  and  a  vaccine  (CEL-2000)  for  Rheumatoid  Arthritis
(currently in preclinical  testing)  using its LEAPS  technology  platform.  The
investigational  immunotherapy  LEAPS-H1N1-DC  treatment  involves  non-changing
regions of H1N1  Pandemic  Flu (See Journal of Clinical  Investigation  - J Clin
Invest. 2013; 123(7):2850-2861. doi: 10.1172/JCI67550) Avian Flu (H5N1), and the

emergence of a new more virulent  hybrid virus through the  combination  of H1N1
and Avian Flu, or maybe  Spanish  Flu.  The Company  has  operations  in Vienna,
Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.
