1.       Please refer to prior comment 1. We acknowledge the information
provided in your
         response but continue to be concerned about the adequacy of your
disclosure regarding the
         significant terms of the GSK agreement. Provide proposed disclosure
that separately
         quantifies aggregate milestones by development, regulatory and
commercial categories for
         each of the NY-ESO and the PRAME programs. In this regard, on page 9
of the 2017
         Form 10-K, you state that potential development milestones related to
the PRAME
         program could amount to approximately $300 million, if GSK exercises
its option and
         successfully develops this target in more than one indication and more
than one HLA
         type. Please tell us the basis for assuming the development of more
than one indication
         and type. Alternatively, disclose the amount of development milestones
per indication and
         type and the number of potential indications and types.
       You may contact Keira Nakada at 202-551-3659 or Frank Wyman at
202-551-3660 with
any questions.
