Item 3.02   Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

      On July 18, 2005, CEL-SCI sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock and
375,000 warrants to one investor for $500,000. Each warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.65 per share at
any time prior to July 18, 2009.

      The issuance of these securities was exempt under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public
offering. At the time of issuance, the investor that acquired these securities
was fully informed and advised about matters concerning CEL-SCI, including
CEL-SCI's business, financial affairs and other matters. The investor acquired
the securities for its own account. The shares of common stock and warrants are
"restricted" securities as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. No underwriters were involved with the sale of these securities.

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
