PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

      THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION
APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

CEL-SCI

      CEL-SCI Corporation was formed as a Colorado corporation in 1983. CEL-SCI
is involved in the research and development of certain drugs and vaccines.
CEL-SCI manufactures MULTIKINE, its first, and main product, using CEL-SCI's
proprietary cell culture technologies, which involve a combination, or
"cocktail", of natural human interleukin-2 and certain lymphokines and
cytokines. CEL-SCI is testing MULTIKINE to determine if it is effective in
creating an anti-cancer immune response in head and neck cancer patients, and in
HIV-infected women with Human Papilloma Virus induced cervical dysplasia, the
precursor stage before the development of cervical cancer.

      Another technology CEL-SCI is developing, Ligand Epitope Antigen
Presentation System (LEAPS), is a T-cell modulation technology which CEL-SCI is
testing to determine if it is effective in developing potential treatments
and/or vaccines against various diseases. Present target diseases are AIDS,
herpes simplex, malaria, tuberculosis, prostate cancer and breast cancer.

      Before human testing can begin with respect to a drug or biological
product, preclinical studies are conducted in laboratory animals to evaluate the
potential efficacy and the safety of a product. Human clinical studies generally
involve a three-phase process. The initial clinical evaluation, Phase I,
consists of administering the product and testing for safe and tolerable dosage
levels. Phase II trials continue the evaluation of safety and determine the
appropriate dosage for the product, identify possible side effects and risks in
a larger group of subjects, and provide preliminary indications of efficacy.
Phase III trials consist of testing for actual clinical efficacy within an
expanded group of patients at geographically dispersed test sites.

      CEL-SCI has funded the costs associated with the clinical trials relating
to CEL-SCI's technologies, research expenditures and CEL-SCI's administrative
expenses with the public and private sales of shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
and borrowings from third parties, including affiliates of CEL-SCI.

      CEL-SCI does not expect to develop commercial products for several years,
if at all. CEL-SCI has had operating losses since its inception, had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $(69,000,000) at June 30, 2001, and expects
to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

      CEL-SCI's executive offices are located at 8229 Boone Blvd., #802, Vienna,
Virginia 22182, and its telephone number is (703) 506-9460.






THE OFFERING

Securities Offered:

      By means of this prospectus certain CEL-SCI shareholders are offering to
sell shares of CEL-SCI's common stock issuable upon the conversion of CEL-SCI's
Series E preferred shares or upon the exercise of CEL-SCI's Series E warrants.
CEL-SCI refers to the owners of these shares as the selling shareholders in this
prospectus.

Common                      Stock Outstanding: As of August 20, 2001, CEL-SCI
                            had 21,249,705 shares of common stock issued and
                            outstanding. The number of outstanding shares does
                            not give effect to shares which may be issued upon
                            the exercise and/or conversion of options, warrants
                            or other convertible securities held by the selling
                            shareholders or other persons. See "Comparative
                            Share Data".

Risk                        Factors: The purchase of the securities offered by
                            this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Risk
                            factors include the lack of revenues and history of
                            loss, need for additional capital and need for FDA
                            approval. See the "Risk Factors" section of this
                            prospectus for additional Risk Factors.

Forward Looking Statements

      This prospectus contains various forward-looking statements that are based
on CEL-SCI's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to CEL-SCI. When used in this prospectus, the words "believe",
"expect", "anticipate", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may include statements
regarding seeking business opportunities, payment of operating expenses, and the
like, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which
could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates.
Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed at
length under the heading "Risk Factors". Should one or more of the enumerated
risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated
or projected. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, all of which speak only as of the date made.

                                  RISK FACTORS

      Investors should be aware that this offering involves certain risks,
including those described below, which could adversely affect the value of their
holdings of common stock. CEL-SCI does not make, nor has it authorized any other
person to make, any representation about the future market value of CEL-SCI's
common stock. In addition to the other information contained in this Private
Offering Memorandum, the following factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating an investment in the Shares offered by this prospectus.

CEL-SCI Has Earned Only Limited Revenues and Has a History of Losses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

      CEL-SCI has had only limited revenues since it was formed in 1983. Since
the date of its formation and through June 30, 2001 CEL-SCI incurred net losses
of approximately $(69,000,000). During the years ended September 30, 1998, 1999
and 2000 CEL-SCI suffered losses of $(6,442,683), $(7,490,725) and $(8,478,397)
respectively. CEL-SCI has relied principally upon the proceeds of public and
private sales of securities to finance its activities to date. All of CEL-SCI's
potential products are in the early stages of development, and any commercial
sale of these products will be many years away. Accordingly, CEL-SCI expects to
incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

      There can be no assurance CEL-SCI will be profitable. At the present time,
CEL-SCI intends to use available funds to finance CEL-SCI's operations.
Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the discretion of the Board
of Directors, no common stock dividends have been declared or paid by CEL-SCI.
CEL-SCI does not presently intend to pay dividends on its common stock and there
can be no assurance that common stock dividends will ever be paid.




If Cel-Sci cannot obtain additional capital, Cel-Sci may have to delay or
postpone development and research expenditures which may influence Cel-Sci's
ability to produce a timely and competitive product.

      Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain approval of a new drug can
be time consuming and costly, especially in the United States, but also in
foreign countries. The different steps necessary to obtain regulatory approval,
especially that of the Food and Drug Administration, involve significant costs
and may require several years to complete. CEL-SCI expects that it will need
additional financing over an extended period of time in order to fund the costs
of future clinical trials, related research, and general and administrative
expenses. Although CEL-SCI's equity line of credit agreement is expected to be a
source of funding, the amounts which CEL-SCI is able to draw from the equity
line during each drawdown period may not satisfy CEL-SCI's capital needs.

If Cost Estimates for Clinical Trials and Research Are Inaccurate, CEL-SCI Will
Require Additional Funding.

      CEL-SCI's estimates of the costs associated with future clinical trials
and research may be substantially lower than the actual costs of these
activities. If CEL-SCI's cost estimates are incorrect, CEL-SCI will need
additional funding for its research efforts.

Any failure to obtain or any delay in obtaining required regulatory approvals
may adversely affect the ability of CEL-SCI or potential licensees to
successfully market any products they may develop.

      Therapeutic agents, drugs and diagnostic products are subject to approval,
prior to general marketing, by the FDA in the United States and by comparable
agencies in most foreign countries. The process of obtaining FDA and
corresponding foreign approvals is costly and time consuming, particularly for
pharmaceutical products such as those which might ultimately be developed by
CEL-SCI, VTI or its licensees, and there can be no assurance that such approvals
will be granted. Also, the extent of adverse government regulations which might
arise from future legislative or administrative action cannot be predicted.

CEL-SCI has, at the present time, only one source of multikine and if this
source could not, for any reason, supply CEL-SCI with Multikine, CEL-SCI
estimates that it would take approximately six to ten months to obtain supplies
of Multikine under an alternative manufacturing arrangement.

      CEL-SCI has an agreement with an unrelated corporation for the production,
until 2006, of Multikine. CEL-SCI does not know what cost it would incur to
obtain an alternative source of supply.

There can be no assurance that CEL-SCI will achieve or maintain a competitive
position or that other technological developments will not cause CEL-SCI's
proprietary technologies to become uneconomical or obsolete.

     The biomedical  field in which CEL-SCI is involved is undergoing  rapid and
significant  technological  change.  The  successful  development of therapeutic
agents  from   CEL-SCI's   compounds,   compositions   and   processes   through



CEL-SCI-financed research or as a result of possible licensing arrangements with
pharmaceutical  or other  companies,  will  depend on its  ability  to be in the
technological forefront of this field.

      Many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are developing products
for the prevention or treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Many of these
companies have substantial financial, research and development, and marketing
resources and are capable of providing significant long-term competition either
by establishing in-house research groups or by forming collaborative ventures
with other entities. In addition, both smaller companies and non-profit
institutions are active in research relating to cancer and infectious diseases
and are expected to become more active in the future.

CEL-SCI's Patents Might Not Protect CEL-SCI's Technology from Competitors.

      Certain aspects of CEL-SCI's technologies are covered by U.S. and foreign
patents. In addition, CEL-SCI has a number of patent applications pending. There
is no assurance that the applications still pending or which may be filed in the
future will result in the issuance of any patents. Furthermore, there is no
assurance as to the breadth and degree of protection any issued patents might
afford CEL-SCI. Disputes may arise between CEL-SCI and others as to the scope
and validity of these or other patents. Any defense of the patents could prove
costly and time consuming and there can be no assurance that CEL-SCI will be in
a position, or will deem it advisable, to carry on such a defense. Other private
and public concerns, including universities, may have filed applications for, or
may have been issued, patents and are expected to obtain additional patents and
other proprietary rights to technology potentially useful or necessary to
CEL-SCI. The scope and validity of such patents, if any, the extent to which
CEL-SCI may wish or need to acquire the rights to such patents, and the cost and
availability of such rights are presently unknown. Also, as far as CEL-SCI
relies upon unpatented proprietary technology, there is no assurance that others
may not acquire or independently develop the same or similar technology.
CEL-SCI's first MULTIKINE patent expired in 2000. Since CEL-SCI does not know if
it will ever be able to sell MULTIKINE on a commercial basis, CEL-SCI cannot
predict what effect the expiration of this patent will have on CEL-SCI.
Notwithstanding the above, CEL-SCI believes that trade secrets and later issued
patents will protect the technology associated with Multikine.






CEL-SCI's Product Liability Insurance May Not Be Adequate to Protect CEL-SCI
from Possible Losses.

      Although CEL-SCI has product liability insurance for Multikine and its
HGP-30 vaccine, the successful prosecution of a product liability case against
CEL-SCI could have a materially adverse effect upon its business if the amount
of any judgment exceeds CEL-SCI's insurance coverage.

The Loss of Management and Scientific Personnel Could Adversely Affect CEL-SCI.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      CEL-SCI is dependent for its success on the continued availability of its
executive officers. The loss of the services of any of CEL-SCI's executive
officers could have an adverse effect on CEL-SCI's business. CEL-SCI does not
carry key man life insurance on any of its officers. CEL-SCI's future success
will also depend upon its ability to attract and retain qualified scientific
personnel. There can be no assurance that CEL-SCI will be able to hire and
retain such necessary personnel.

Shares Issuable Upon the Conversion of Options, Warrants and Convertible
Securities or in Connection with the Equity Line of Credit May Depress the Price
of CEL-SCI's Common stock.

      CEL-SCI has issued options to its officers, directors, employees and
consultants which allow the holders to acquire additional shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock. In some cases CEL-SCI has agreed that, at its expense, it will
make appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that the
securities issuable upon the exercise of the options will be available for
public sale. Such filings could result in substantial expense to CEL-SCI and
could hinder future financings by CEL-SCI.

      Until the options expire, the holders will have an opportunity to profit
from any increase in the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock without assuming
the risks of ownership. Holders of the options may exercise them at a time when
CEL-SCI could obtain additional capital on terms more favorable than those
provided by the options. The exercise of the options will dilute the voting
interest of the owners of presently outstanding shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
and may adversely affect the ability of CEL-SCI to obtain additional capital in
the future. The sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
the options could adversely affect the market price of CEL-SCI's stock.

      In December 1999 and January 2000, CEL-SCI sold 1,148,592 shares of its
common stock, plus Series A and Series B warrants, to three private investors.
The Series A warrants permitted the holders of the warrants to purchase 402,007
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $2.925 per share at any time
prior to December 8, 2002. The Series B warrants allowed the holders to acquire
additional shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a nominal price in the event the
price of CEL-SCI's common stock fell below $2.4375 per share prior to certain
fixed vesting dates, the first of which in December 2000. On the first fixed
vesting date the price of CEL-SCI's common stock was $1.54. Pursuant to the
terms of the Series B warrants, which have since expired, the holders of the
warrants, in December 2000, received 274,309 additional shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock. The share of common stock sold by CEL-SCI in the December 1999 and
January 2000 private offerings have since been resold by the investors, and as a
result no additional shares are issuable by the terms of the Series B warrants.




      In March 2000, CEL-SCI sold an additional 1,026,666 shares of its common
stock, plus Series C and Series D warrants, to the same three private investors.
The Series C warrants permitted the holders of the warrants to purchase 413,344
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $8.50 per share at any time prior
to March 21, 2003. The Series D warrants originally allowed the holders, to the
extent they held any shares purchased in the March 2000 offering, to acquire
additional shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a nominal price in the event the
price of CEL-SCI's common stock fell below $7.50 per share prior to certain
fixed vesting dates, the first of which was in March 2001. On the first fixed
vesting date the price of CEL-SCI's common stock was $1.47 and on the second,
and final vesting date, the price of CEL-SCI's common stock was $1.08. As a
result, and in accordance with the terms of the Series D warrants, the private
investors were entitled to receive 5,734,155 additional shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock of which 3,520,123 shares had been issued and 959,340 shares had
been sold as of August 15, 2001.

      On August 16, 2001 the three private investors exchanged the shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock which they owned, plus their unexercised Series D
Warrants, for 6,288 shares of CEL-SCI's Series E Preferred stock. Each Series E
Preferred share is convertible into shares of CEL-SCI's common stock on the
basis of one Series E Preferred share for shares of common stock equal in number
to the amount determined by dividing $1,000 by the lesser of $5 or 93% of the
average closing bid prices (the "Conversion Price") of CEL-SCI's common stock on
the American Stock Exchange for the five days prior to the date of each
conversion notice.

      As part of this transaction the three private investors also exchanged
their Series A and Series C warrants for new Series E warrants. The Series E
warrants collectively allow the holders to purchase up to 815,351 additional
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $1.19 per share at any time prior
to August 16, 2004.

      The shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of the
Series E preferred shares, and the shares of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Series E warrants are being offered for public sale by means of
this registration statement. The sale of common stock issued or issuable upon
the exercise of the Series E warrants, or the conversion of the Series E
Preferred stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely
affect the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock.

      An unknown number of shares of common stock, which may be sold by means of
a separate registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, are issuable under a equity line of credit arrangement to Paul
Revere Capital Partners. As CEL-SCI sells shares of its common stock to Paul
Revere Capital Partners under the equity line of credit, and Paul Revere Capital
Partners sells the common stock to third parties, the price of CEL-SCI's common
stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. If CEL-SCI
decides to draw down on the equity line of credit as the price of its common
stock decreases, CEL-SCI will be required to issue more shares of its common
stock for any given dollar amount invested by Paul Revere Capital Partners,
subject to the minimum selling price specified by CEL-SCI. The more shares that
are issued under the equity line of credit, the more CEL-SCI's then outstanding
shares will be diluted and the more CEL-SCI's stock price may decrease. Although
Paul Revere Capital Partners has agreed not to engage in any short selling
during the term of the equity line of credit, any decline in the price of
CEL-SCI's common stock may encourage short sales by others, which could place
further downward pressure on the price of CEL-SCI's common stock. Short selling
is a practice of selling shares which are not owned by a seller with the



expectation that the market price of the shares will decline in value after the
sale. See "Comparative Share Data" for more information concerning this equity
line.

The Market Price for CEL-SCI's Common Stock is Volatile.

      The market price of CEL-SCI's common stock, as well as the securities of
other biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, have historically been
highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. Factors such as fluctuations in CEL-SCI's operating
results, announcements of technological innovations or new therapeutic products
by CEL-SCI or its competitors, governmental regulation, developments in patent
or other proprietary rights, public concern as to the safety of products
developed by CEL-SCI or other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and
general market conditions may have a significant effect on the market price of
CEL-SCI's common stock.

A. In December 1999 and January 2000, CEL-SCI sold 1,148,592 shares of its
common stock, plus Series A and Series B warrants, to Advantage Fund II, Koch
Investment Group Limited and Mooring Capital Fund LLC for $2,800,000. The Series
A warrants allowed the holders to purchase up to 402,007 shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock at a price of $2.925 per share at any time prior to December 8,
2002. CEL-SCI issued 274,309 shares of common stock upon the exercise of the
Series B warrants, which have since expired.

      In March 2000, CEL-SCI sold 1,026,666 shares of its common stock, plus
Series C and Series D warrants, to the same private investors referred to above
for $7,700,000. The Series C warrants allowed the holders to purchase up to
413,344 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $8.50 per share at any
time prior to March 21, 2003. The Series D warrants allowed the holders, to the
extent the held any shares purchased in the March 2000 offering, to acquire
additional shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a nominal price in the event the
price of CEL-SCI's common stock fell below $7.50 per share prior to certain
fixed vesting dates. On the first fixed vesting date the price of CEL-SCI's
common stock was $1.47 and on the second, and final vesting date, the price of
CEL-SCI's common stock was $1.08. As a result, and in accordance with the terms
of the Series D warrants, the private investors were entitled to receive
5,734,155 additional shares of CEL-SCI's common stock, of which 3,520,123 shares
had been issued and 959,340 shares had been sold as of August 15, 2001.

      On August 16, 2001 CEL-SCI, Advantage Fund II and Koch Investment Group
agreed to restructure the terms of the Series A, C and D warrants in the
following manner:

      Advantage Fund II, Koch Investment Group Limited and Mooring Capital Fund
LLC exchanged the 3,588,564 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock which they owned,
plus their unexercised Series D Warrants, for 6,288 shares of CEL-SCI's Series E
Preferred stock. At the holder's option, each Series E Preferred share is
convertible into shares of CEL-SCI's common stock on the basis of one Series E
Preferred share for shares of common stock equal in number to the amount
determined by dividing $1,000 by the lesser of $5 or 93% of the average closing
bid prices (the "Conversion Price") of CEL-SCI's common stock on the American
Stock Exchange for the five days prior to the date of each conversion notice.

      Notwithstanding the above, the maximum number of common shares issuable
upon the conversion of each Series E Preferred share prior to August 16, 2003
will be the greater of 5,801,481 shares or the number of common shares
determined by dividing $1,000 by the price




per share of common stock (if up to $2,000,000 is raised by CEL-SCI in a single
Capital Raising Transaction) or the average weighted price per share of common
stock (if up to $2,000,000 is raised by CEL-SCI in a series of Capital Raising
Transactions) sold by CEL-SCI prior to November 14, 2001. The term Capital
Raising Transaction means, at any time prior to November 14, 2001, a transaction
or series of transactions by which (i) CEL-SCI receives up to $2,000,000 in
connection with the Company's issuance of its common stock and (ii) CEL-SCI is
required to register for resale any securities which were sold or agreed to be
sold.

      Each Series E Preferred share can be redeemed by CEL-SCI at a price of
$1,200 per share, plus accrued dividends, at any time prior to July 18, 2003. At
any time on or after July 18, 2001 and prior to the close of business on August
16, 2003 CEL-SCI may redeem any outstanding Series E Preferred shares at a price
of $1,000 per share.

      Preferred shares that have not been redeemed or converted by August 16,
2003 will automatically convert to twice the number of shares of common stock
which such shares would otherwise convert into based upon the Conversion Price
on such date. On August 16, 2003 CEL-SCI will also be required to issue the
holders of any Series E Preferred shares which are then outstanding Series E
warrants which will allow the holders of the warrants to purchase shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock equal in number to 33% of the common shares which were
issued upon the conversion of the remaining Series E Preferred shares. These
warrants, if issued, will be exercisable at any time prior to August 17, 2006 at
a price equal to 110% of the volume weighted average price of CEL-SCI's common
stock for the five days prior to August 16, 2003.

      Each Series E Preferred share is entitled to a quarterly dividend of $60
per share, payable in cash. Dividends not declared will accumulate. Except as
otherwise provided by law the Series E Preferred shares do not have any voting
rights. The Series E Preferred shares have a liquidation preference over
CEL-SCI's common stock.

      As part of this transaction the three investors exchanged their Series A
and Series C warrants for new Series E warrants. The Series E warrants
collectively allow the holders to purchase up to 815,351 additional shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $1.19 per share at any time prior to August
16, 2004.

      With respect to the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series E
Preferred shares, or the exercise of the Series E warrants, Advantage II and
Koch have agreed that until October 22, 2001, they will limit their respective
weekly sales of CEL-SCI's common stock to 7% of the average of the four prior
weeks trading volume in CEL-SCI's common stock as listed by Bloomberg Financial
Services. Mooring Financial has agreed to limit its weekly sales of CEL-SCI's
common stock to 1.67% of the average of the four prior weeks trading volume as
listed by Bloomberg. Thereafter, each of Advantage II and Koch will limit their
respective weekly sales of CEL-SCI's common stock to 9% of the average of the
four prior weeks traded volume as listed by Bloomberg, while Mooring Financial
will limit its weekly sales of CEL-SCI's common stock to 2.14% of the average of
the four prior weeks trading volume as listed by Bloomberg. If CEL-SCI's trading
volume reaches 200,000 shares or more on any give day, each of Advantage II and
Koch will be allowed to sell an additional 4.5% of that day's trading volume on
each of that day and the following day, while Mooring Financial will be allowed
to sell an additional 1% of that day's trading volume on each of that day and
the following day.




      The actual number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series E
Preferred shares will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the
price of CEL-SCI's common stock at certain dates. Accordingly, the number of
shares of common stock which will be issued upon the conversion of the Series E
Preferred shares cannot be determined at this time. However, prior to August 16,
2003, CEL-SCI would not be required to issue more than 5,801,481 shares of its
common stock upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred shares, subject to
any adjustment due to a Capital Raising Transaction.

B. An unknown number of shares of common stock are issuable under the equity
line of credit agreement between CEL-SCI and Paul Revere Capital Partners. As
consideration for extending the equity line of credit, CEL-SCI granted Paul
Revere Capital Partners warrants to purchase 200,800 shares of common stock at a
price of $1.64 per share at any time prior to April 11, 2004.

      Under the equity line of credit agreement, Paul Revere Capital Partners
has agreed to provide CEL-SCI with up to $10,000,000 of funding during the
twenty-four month period following the date of this Private Offering Memorandum.
During this twenty-four month period, CEL-SCI may request a drawdown under the
equity line of credit by selling shares of its common stock to Paul Revere
Capital Partners and Paul Revere Capital Partners will be obligated to purchase
the shares. CEL-SCI may request a drawdown once every 22 trading days, although
CEL-SCI is under no obligation to request any drawdowns under the equity line of
credit.

      During the 22 trading days following a drawdown request, CEL-SCI will
calculate the amount of shares it will sell to Paul Revere Capital Partners and
the purchase price per share. The purchase price per share of common stock will
based on the daily volume weighted average price of CEL-SCI's common stock
during each of the 22 trading days immediately following the drawdown date, less
a discount of 11%.

      CEL-SCI may request a drawdown by faxing a drawdown notice to Paul Revere
Capital Partners, Ltd., stating the amount of the drawdown and the lowest daily
volume weighted average price, if any, at which CEL-SCI is willing to sell the
shares. The lowest volume weighted average price will be set by CEL-SCI's Chief
Executive Officer in his sole and absolute discretion.

      If CEL-SCI sets a minimum price which is too high and CEL-SCI's stock
price does not consistently meet that level during the 22 trading days after its
drawdown request, the amount CEL-SCI can draw and the number of shares CEL-SCI
will sell to Paul Revere Capital Partners will be reduced. On the other hand, if
CEL-SCI sets a minimum price which is too low and its stock price falls
significantly but stays above the minimum price, CEL-SCI will have to issue a
greater number of shares to Paul Revere Capital Partners based on the reduced
market price.

      As of August 20, 2001 CEL-SCI had not requested a draw down under the
equity line of credit.

C. In December 1997, CEL-SCI sold 10,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock,
and 1,100,000  warrants,  to ten  institutional  investors for $10,000,000.  All
Series D Preferred shares were  subsequently  converted into 5,201,400 shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock. Warrants for





the purchase of 550,000 shares of common stock are exercisable at a price of
$8.62 at any time prior to December 22, 2001. Warrants for the purchase of
550,000 shares of common stock are exercisable at a price of $9.31 at any time
prior to December 22, 2001. As of July 31, 2001 none of the warrants had been
exercised.

D. CEL-SCI has granted options for the purchase of 275,000 shares of common
stock to certain investor relations consultants in consideration for services
provided to CEL-SCI. The options are exercisable at prices ranging between $1.63
and $5.00 per share and expire between June 2001 and February 2004.

E. The options are exercisable at prices ranging from $1.05 to $11.00 per share.
CEL-SCI may also grant options to purchase additional shares under its Incentive
Stock Option and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans.

      The shares referred to in Notes B through E are being, or will be, offered
for sale by means of separate registration statements which have been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

      This prospectus relates to shares of CEL-SCI's common stock issuable upon
the conversion of CEL-SCI's Series E preferred shares and upon the exercise of
CEL-SCI's Series E warrants.

      The actual number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series E
preferred shares will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the
price of CEL-SCI's common stock at the time the preferred shares are converted.
Accordingly, the number of shares which may be issued upon the conversion of the
preferred shares, cannot be determined at this time. See "Comparative Share
Data".

      The owners of the Series E preferred shares and the Series E warrants are
referred to in this prospectus as the "selling shareholders". CEL-SCI will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders.

      The names of and the shares to be sold by the selling shareholders are:

(1)  Based upon the price of CEL-SCI's  common  stock as of August 20, 2001.  At
     the holder's  option,  each Series E Preferred  share is  convertible  into
     shares of  CEL-SCI's  common  stock on the basis of one Series E  Preferred
     share for shares of common  stock equal in number to the amount  determined
     by dividing  $1,000 by the lesser of $5 or 93% of the  average  closing bid
     prices (the  "Conversion  Price") of CEL-SCI's common stock on the American
     Stock  Exchange  for the five  days  prior  to the date of each  conversion
     notice.

      For purposes of the foregoing table, it is assumed that all shares owned,
or which may be acquired, by the selling shareholders are sold to the public by
means of this prospectus.

     Genesee   International  Inc.,  of  which  Mr.  Donald  R.  Morken  is  the
controlling  stockholder,  has voting and  investment  power over the securities
beneficially  owned by Advantage  Fund II Ltd. Koch  Industries,  Inc., of which
Messrs.  Charles Koch and David Koch are controlling  stockholders,  have voting
and investment power over the securities  beneficially  owned by Koch Investment
Group Ltd.  Mooring  Capital Fund LLC is  controlled by John M.  Jacquemin.  Mr.
Jacquemin is a former director of CEL-SCI Corporation.

      Each Series E preferred shareholder is prohibited from converting the
preferred shares to the extent that such conversion would result in such holder,
together with any affiliate of the holder, beneficially owning in excess of
9.999% of the outstanding shares of CEL-SCI's common stock following such
conversion. This restriction may be waived by each holder on not less than 61
days' notice to CEL-SCI. However, the 9.999% limitation would not prevent each
warrant holder from acquiring and selling in excess of 9.999% of CEL-SCI's
common stock through a series of acquisitions and sales so long as the holder
never beneficially owns more than 4.999% of CEL-SCI's common stock at any one
time.

      Each Series E warrant holder is prohibited from exercising the warrants to
the extent that such exercise would result in such holder, together with any
affiliate of the warrant holder, beneficially owning in excess of 9.999% of the
outstanding shares of CEL-SCI's common stock following such exercise. This
restriction may be waived by each holder on not less than 61 days' notice to
CEL-SCI. However, the 9.999% limitation would not prevent each warrant holder
from acquiring and selling in excess of 9.999% of CEL-SCI's common stock through
a series of acquisitions and sales under the warrants so long as the warrant
holder never beneficially owns more than 9.999% of CEL-SCI's common stock at any
one time.






Plan of Distribution

      The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

o    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
     solicits purchasers;
o    block trades in which the broker-dealer  will attempt to sell the shares as
     agent but may  position  and resell a portion of the block as  principal to
     facilitate the transaction;
o    purchases by a broker-dealer  as principal and resale by the  broker-dealer
     for its account;
o    an exchange  distribution  in accordance  with the rules of the  applicable
     exchange;
o    privately negotiated transactions;
o    short sales;
o    broker-dealers may agree with the Selling  Stockholders to sell a specified
     number of such shares at a stipulated  price per share;  o a combination of
     any such  methods of sale;  and o any other  method  permitted  pursuant to
     applicable law.

      The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

      The selling shareholders may also engage in short sales against the box,
puts and calls and other transactions in securities of CEL-SCI or derivatives of
CEL-SCI securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these
trades. The selling shareholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under
the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling shareholder defaults
on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares.

      Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

      The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

      CEL-SCI is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
selling shareholders. CEL-SCI has agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.







CEL-SCI has advised the selling shareholders that in the event of a
"distribution" of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling
shareholders, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person
who participates in such distribution may be subject to Rule 102 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") until their participation in that
distribution is completed. A "distribution" is defined in Rule 102 as an
offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions
by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and
selling methods". CEL-SCI has also advised the selling shareholders that Rule
102 under the 1934 Act prohibits any "stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase"
for the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock
in connection with this offering. Rule 101 makes it unlawful for any person who
is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same
class as is the subject of the distribution.

      CEL-SCI has agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders and any
securities broker/dealers who may be deemed to be underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act as underwriters or
otherwise.

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

      CEL-SCI is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, (the
"common stock"). Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for
each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative
voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding
common stock can elect all directors.

      Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and,
in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of CEL-SCI's
assets after payment of liabilities. The board is not obligated to declare a
dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable
future.

      Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to
additional shares if issued by CEL-SCI. There are no conversion, redemption,
sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock . All of the
outstanding shares of Common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

      CEL-SCI is authorized to issue up to 200,000 shares of preferred stock.
CEL-SCI's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the
authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations
provided by Colorado statute, to fix by resolution the voting power,
designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so
established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of,
and to issue, the preferred stock without shareholder approval, the preferred
stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of CEL-SCI.






      See "Comparative Share Data" for information concerning CEL-SCI's Series E
preferred stock.

Transfer Agent

     American Securities Transfer,  Inc., of Denver,  Colorado,  is the transfer
agent for CEL-SCI's common stock.

                                     EXPERTS

      The consolidated financial statements of CEL-SCI Corporation as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999, and for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 2000 incorporated by reference in this prospectus from CEL-SCI's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000, have been
audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their
report, which is incorporated herein by reference, and have been so incorporated
in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts
in accounting and auditing.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      CEL-SCI's bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer,
employee or agent of CEL-SCI against expenses incurred by him in connection with
any action, suit, or proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his
having acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his
own misconduct or negligence in performance of his duty. In addition, even a
director, officer, employee, or agent of CEL-SCI who was found liable for
misconduct or negligence in the performance of his duty may obtain such
indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of
competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling CEL-SCI pursuant to the foregoing provisions, CEL-SCI has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

      CEL-SCI is subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
l934 and is required to file reports, proxy statements and other information

Item 17. Undertakings.
         ------------

      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

      (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement.

     (i)  To  include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section  l0(a)(3)  of  the
Securities Act of l933;

            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement;

            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement, including
(but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing underwriter.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of l933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of l933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.







                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

         The registrant and each person whose signature appears below hereby
authorizes the agent for service named in this Registration Statement, with full
power to act alone, to file one or more amendments (including post-effective
amendments) to this Registration Statement, which amendments may make such
changes in this Registration Statement as such agent for service deems
appropriate, and the Registrant and each such person hereby appoints such agent
for service as attorney-in-fact, with full power to act alone, to execute in the
name and in behalf of the Registrant and any such person, individually and in
each capacity stated below, any such amendments to this Registration Statement.

                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of l933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Vienna, State of Virginia, on the 27th day of August,
2001.
