                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED 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(R), its first, and main product, using CEL-SCI's
proprietary cell culture technologies. 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.

      LEAPS, another technology of CEL-SCI, is being tested by CEL-SCI to
determine if it is effective in developing potential treatments and/or vaccines
against various diseases. Present target diseases are herpes simplex and
malaria.

      Using the LEAPS technology, CEL-SCI discovered a peptide, named CEL-1000,
which is currently being tested in animals for the prevention/treatment of
herpes simplex, malaria, viral encephalitis, smallpox, vaccinia and a number of
other indications. CEL-1000 is also being tested as a bio-terrorism agent by the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and by the U.S. Army
Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.

      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.

    All of CEL-SCI's products are in the development stage. As of December 1,
2003 CEL-SCI was not receiving any revenues from the sale of MULTIKINE or any
other products which CEL-SCI was developing.

      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 $(86,600,000) at September 30, 2003 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 two shareholders of CEL-SCI are offering to
sell 1,147,831 shares of common stock plus 1,100,000 additional shares issuable
upon the exercise of CEL-SCI's Series I warrants. CEL-SCI refers to the owner of
these shares as the selling shareholders in this prospectus.

Common Stock Outstanding:   As of December 1, 2003 CEL-SCI had 65,121,384 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.  If all  outstanding
                            warrants  and  convertible securities,   including
                            the  warrants   held  by  the  selling shareholders,
                            were exercised and converted,  CEL-SCI would have
                            79,766,479 outstanding shares of common stock.  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 the risks described
below, which could adversely affect the price of CEL-SCI's common stock. In
addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, the following
factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in the shares
offered by this prospectus.

RISKS RELATED TO CEL-SCI

Since CEL-SCI Has Earned Only Limited Revenues and Has a History of Losses,
CEL-SCI Will Require Additional Capital to Remain in Operation.



      CEL-SCI has had only limited revenues since it was formed in 1983. Since
the date of its formation and through September 30, 2003 CEL-SCI incurred net
losses of approximately $(86,600,000). During the years ended September 30,
2001, 2002 and 2003 CEL-SCI suffered losses of $(10,733,679), $(8,342,244) and
$(6,371,498) respectively. CEL-SCI has relied principally upon the proceeds of
public and private sales of securities and convertible notes 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.

CEL-SCI Will Require Additional Capital for its Clinical Trials and Research

      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. In any event, CEL-SCI will need additional funding to continue its
clinical trials and research efforts.

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.

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, in which case
CEL-SCI may have to delay its research and development activities.

      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.

CEL-SCI may not be able to achieve or maintain a competitive position and other
technological developments may result in CEL-SCI's proprietary technologies
becoming 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, in
which case CEL-SCI may not have any advantage over competitors in selling any
products which it may develop.

      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.

Although CEL-SCI has product liability insurance for MULTIKINE, 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.

CEL-SCI is dependent for its success on the continued availability of its
executive officers and the loss of management and scientific personnel could
adversely affect CEL-SCI.

      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.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

Since the Market Price for CEL-SCI's Common Stock is Volatile, Investors in This
Offering May Not Be Able to Sell Any of CEL-SCI's Shares at a Profit.

      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.

      Shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants, or the
conversion of promissory notes, or as a result of sales made in connection with
the equity line of credit may substantially increase the number of shares
available for sale in the public market and may depress the price of CEL-SCI's
common stock.

      CEL-SCI has outstanding options, warrants and convertible notes 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 warrants or upon the conversion of the
promissory notes 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, warrants and other convertible securities 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, warrants and other convertible securities may exercise or convert
these securities 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
and warrants or the conversion of notes will dilute the voting interest of the
owners of presently outstanding shares of CEL-SCI's common stock. The sale of
the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the options or the
conversion of the notes could adversely affect the market price of CEL-SCI's
stock.

      In addition, 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
Rubicon Group Ltd. As CEL-SCI sells shares of its common stock to Rubicon Group
under the equity line of credit, and Rubicon Group 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 Rubicon Group, 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. Any decline in the price of CEL-SCI's common stock may
encourage short sales, 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 the "Comparative Share Data" section of this prospectus for more
information concerning CEL-SCI's outstanding options, warrants and other
convertible notes as well as the equity line and warrants which were granted to
Rubicon Group as consideration for extending the equity line of credit.

B. In April 2001, CEL-SCI entered into an equity line of credit agreement with
Paul Revere Capital Partners. During the term the equity line of credit, which
expired in June 2003, CEL-SCI received net proceeds of $2,074,692 from the sale
of 5,430,960 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the equity line. 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.



      In August 2001, three private investors exchanged their warrants for
CEL-SCI's Series E warrants. As of December 1, 2003, the Series E warrants
collectively allow the holders to purchase up to 570,627 additional shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $1.19 per share at any time prior to August
16, 2004. In August 2003, in accordance with the terms of the Series E preferred
stock, CEL-SCI issued warrants which permit the holders to purchase an
additional 23,758 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.77 per share
at any time prior to August 17, 2006.

       In July and September 2002, CEL-SCI sold Series G convertible notes, plus
Series G warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,300,000. As of June
30, 2003 all of the Series G notes had been converted into 8,390,746 shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock. As of December 1, 2003, the Series G warrants allowed
the holders to purchase up to 450,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a
price of $0.145 per share at any time prior to July 12, 2009.

       In January and July 2003, CEL-SCI sold Series H convertible notes, plus
Series H warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,350,000. As of
December 1, 2003 all of the Series H notes had been converted into 3,233,229
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock. As of December 1, 2003 the Series H warrants
allowed the holders to purchase up to 550,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
at a price of $0.25 per share at any time prior to January 7, 2010.

      On December 1, 2003, CEL-SCI sold 2,999,964 shares of its common stock to
a group of private institutional investors for approximately $2,550,000, or
$0.85 per share. As part of this transaction, the investors and the sales agent
for a number of the investors in the private offering received Series J warrants
which, as of December 1, 2003, allowed the investors to purchase 991,003 shares
of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $1.32 per share at any time prior to
December 1, 2006.

      The warrant exercise price, and the number of shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Series G and H warrants are subject to adjustment under those
conditions explained in the section of the prospectus entitled "Description of
Securities".

C. In November 2001, CEL-SCI gave a promissory note in the principal amount of
$1,172,517 to Cambrex Bio Sciences, Inc. The note represented the cost of
CEL-SCI's use of the Cambrex manufacturing facility for the three months ended
January 10, 2002 to produce MULTIKINE for CEL-SCI's clinical trials. The amount
due Cambrex bears interest at the prime interest rate, plus 3%, which is
adjusted monthly. As of December 1, 2003, the prime interest rate was 4% and the
interest rate on the amount due Cambrex was 7%. The note is due in full,
including accrued interest, on January 2, 2004. As of December 1, 2003 CEL-SCI
had made $485,525 in principal payments on the note. Cambrex, at its option, may
convert all or part of the amount due Cambrex into shares of CEL-SCI's common
stock. The number of shares to be issued to Cambrex upon any conversion of the
note will be determined by dividing that portion of the note to be converted by
the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" is an amount equal to 90% of the
average of the closing prices of CEL-SCI's common stock for the three trading
days immediately prior to the conversion date. The Conversion Price may not be
less than $0.22. As of December 1, 2003 Cambrex had not converted any part of
the note into shares of CEL-SCI's common stock. The actual number of additional



shares issuable upon the conversion of the Cambrex note 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 which may be issued upon the conversion
of the Cambrex note cannot be determined at this time. However, based upon the
market price of CEL-SCI's common stock on December 1, 2003, CEL-SCI would be
required to issue approximately 563,000 shares of common stock if the
outstanding amount owed to Cambrex was converted on December 1, 2003.

D. An unknown number of shares of common stock are issuable under the equity
line of credit agreement between CEL-SCI and Rubicon Group, Ltd. As
consideration for extending the equity line of credit, CEL-SCI granted Rubicon
Group warrants to purchase 395,726 shares of common stock at a price of $0.83
per share at any time prior to September 16, 2008.

      Under the equity line of credit agreement, Rubicon Group has agreed to
provide CEL-SCI with up to $10,000,000 of funding over a two year period ending
on the date that the registration statement relating to the shares to be sold
pursuant to the equity line of credit is declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. During this period, CEL-SCI may request a drawdown
under the equity line of credit by selling shares of its common stock to Rubicon
Group and Rubicon Group 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 Rubicon Group and the purchase
price per share. The purchase price per share of common stock will be 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 Rubicon
Group, 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 Rubicon Group 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 Rubicon Group based on the reduced market price.

      As of December 1, 2003 CEL-SCI had not requested any drawdowns under the
equity line of credit since the registration statement relating to the shares to
be sold pursuant to the equity line had not been declared effective by the
Securities Exchange Commission.

E. The options are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.16 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.



F. CEL-SCI has granted options for the purchase of 200,000 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 $2.50 per share and expire between February 2004 and June 2006.

       The shares referred to in Notes B, D and 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

      By means of this prospectus two shareholders of CEL-SCI are offering to
sell 1,147,831 shares of common stock plus 1,100,000 additional shares issuable
upon the exercise of CEL-SCI's Series I warrants. CEL-SCI refers to the owners
of these shares and the Series I warrants as the selling shareholders in this
prospectus. CEL-SCI will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by
the selling shareholders.

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

(1)The Series I warrants allow the holders to initially purchase up to 1,100,000
  shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.47 per share at any time
  prior to May 30, 2008.

      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.

Eastern Biotech

      In May 2003, CEL-SCI entered into an agreement with Eastern Biotech which
provided Eastern Biotech with the following (i) the exclusive right to
distribute MULTIKINE and CEL-1000 in Greece, Serbia and Croatia, (ii) a royalty
equal to 1% of CEL-SCI's net sales of MULTIKINE and CEL-1000 prior to May 30,
2033, (iii) 1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock and, (iv) Series I
warrants which allow Eastern Biotech to purchase an additional 1,100,000 shares
of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.47 per share at any time prior to May
30, 2008. In consideration for the above Eastern Biotech paid CEL-SCI $500,000.
Since the shares issued to Eastern Biotech, as well as the shares issuable upon
the exercise of the Eastern Biotech warrants, were not registered for public
sale by September 30, 2003, the royalty percentage to Eastern Biotech increased
to 2%. Eastern Biotech will lose its exclusive right to distribute CEL-SCI's



products unless Eastern Biotech has enrolled at least 20 patients in a
controlled, mutually designed head and neck cancer clinical trial by June 1,
2004.

      Eastern Biotech is controlled by Marta de Saavedra and Leslie Barker de
Giron. Eastern Biotech is engaged in the development and distribution of
biomedical drugs. Eastern Biotech is not in the business of underwriting
securities, is not a broker-dealer and is not affiliated with a broker-dealer.
Other than as disclosed in this prospectus, during the past three years Eastern
Biotech has not had any relationship with the Company or its officers or
directors.

Mooring Capital

      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 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.  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 these 5,734,155 shares
to which the private  investors were  entitled,  as of August 15, 2003 3,520,123
shares had been  issued,  959,340  shares  which  were  issued had been sold and
2,214,032 shares remained to be issued.

      On August 16, 2001 CEL-SCI, Advantage Fund II, Koch Investment Group, and
Mooring Capital Fund 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 the 2,214,032  shares to which they were  entitled in  accordance  with the
terms of the 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 was 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 was 923
shares. Each Series E



Preferred share was entitled to a quarterly dividend of $15 per share, payable
in cash. The dividend was negotiated between CEL-SCI and the private investors.

      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.

     The  following  summarizes  the shares  and  warrants  acquired  by Mooring
Capital in the transactions described above:

     The  Series B and D 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  certain  prices  prior to a number of fixed
vesting dates.  Accordingly,  the number of shares  issuable by the terms of the
Series B and D warrants could not be determined when the warrants were issued.

Series E preferred shares received:    669
Series E Warrants receive:          80,610

     The 933 shares  acquired by Mooring Capital in the March 2000 financing and
the 361,534  shares  acquired  upon the  exercise of the Series D warrants  were
exchanged  by Mooring  Capital on August  16,  2001 for 669 shares of  CEL-SCI's
Series E preferred stock. The 122,951 shares acquired by Mooring in the December
1999/ January 2000 financing,  as well as the 132,542 shares acquired by Mooring
upon the exercise of the Series B warrants, were sold by Mooring prior to August
16, 2001.  Mooring  Capital's  unexercised  Series A and Series C warrants  were
exchanged for CEL-SCI's Series E warrants.

      Any Series E Preferred shares that were not converted by August 16, 2003
were automatically converted 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 was also required to issue to the holders of
any Series E Preferred shares which were 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.

      As of August 15, 2003, all Series E preferred shares owned by Advantage
Fund II and Koch Investment Group had been converted into 5,184,174 shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock. As of that same date 630 of the Series E Preferred
shares originally issued to Mooring Capital Fund had been converted into 565,581
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock. On August 16, 2003 the remaining 39 Series E
Preferred shares held by Mooring Capital Fund were converted into 71,994 shares
of CEL-SCI's common stock. In addition, and as a result of the 39 Series E
shares still owned by Mooring Capital Fund on August 16, 2003, Mooring Capital
Fund received additional Series E warrants which entitle Mooring Capital to
purchase 23,758 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.77 per share
at any time prior to August 17, 2006.  Following the August 15, 2003 automatic
conversion, no Series E Preferred shares were outstanding.

     In August 2003  CEL-SCI  also issued  47,831  shares of its common stock to
Mooring Capital Fund in payment of  approximately  $26,000 in accrued and unpaid
dividends on Mooring  Capital's Series E Preferred  shares.  These 47,831 shares
are being offered for public sale by means of this prospectus.  All other shares
of CEL-SCI's  common stock held by Mooring were sold by means of a  registration
statement on Form S-3 filed by CEL-SCI  (File #  333-71650)  or pursuant to Rule
144(k) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      Mooring Capital Fund is controlled by John M. Jacquemin. Mr. Jacquemin was
a director of CEL-SCI between 1999 and March 2001. Mooring Capital Fund is a
private, closed-end fund that invests primarily in sub-performing and
non-performing commercial loan portfolios. Mooring Capital Fund also invests
from time-to-time in real estate ventures and equity securities. Mooring Capital
Fund is not in the business of underwriting securities, is not a broker-dealer
and is not affiliated with a broker-dealer. Other than as disclosed in this
prospectus, during the past three years Mooring Capital Fund has not had any
relationship with CEL-SCI or CEL-SCI's officers or directors.

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  shareholders 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 its 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 shareholder (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.

      CEL-SCI has advised the selling shareholders that in the event of a
"distribution" of the shares owned by the selling shareholders, the 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.

                            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 and all of
the shares of common stock offered as a component of the Units will be, upon
issuance, 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.

Warrants Held by Private Investors

      In April 2001, CEL-SCI entered into an equity line of credit agreement
with Paul Revere Capital Partners. As consideration for extending the equity
line of credit, which expired in June 2003, 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.



      In August 2001, three private investors exchanged their warrants for
CEL-SCI's Series E warrants. As of December 1, 2003 the Series E warrants
collectively allowed the holders to purchase up to 570,627 additional shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $1.19 per share at any time prior to August
16, 2004. In August 2003, in accordance with the terms of the Series E preferred
stock, CEL-SCI issued warrants which permit the holders to purchase 23,758
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.77 per share at any time prior
to August 17, 2006.

      In July and September 2002, CEL-SCI sold Series G convertible notes, plus
Series G warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,300,000. All of the
Series G convertible notes have since been converted into shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock. As of December 1, 2003 the Series G warrants collectively allowed
the holders to purchase up to 450,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a
price of $0.145 per share at any time prior to July 12, 2009. Every three months
after December 9, 2003, the exercise price of the Series G warrants will be
adjusted to an amount equal to 84% of the average of the 3 lowest daily trading
prices of CEL-SCI's common stock on the American Stock Exchange during the 20
trading days immediately prior to the three month adjustment date, provided that
the adjusted price is lower than the warrant exercise price on that date.

         In January and July 2003, CEL-SCI sold Series H convertible notes, plus
Series H warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,350,000. All of the
Series H Convertible notes have since been converted into shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock. As of December 1, 2003 the Series H warrants collectively allowed
the holders to purchase up to 550,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a
price of $0.25 per share at any time prior to January 7, 2010. Every three
months after September 26, 2003 the exercise price of the Series H warrants will
be adjusted to an amount equal to 84% of the average of the 3 lowest daily
trading prices of CEL-SCI's common stock on the American Stock Exchange during
the 15 trading days immediately prior to the three month adjustment date,
provided that the adjusted price is lower than the warrant exercise price on
that date.

      If CEL-SCI sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities
convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable exercise
price of the Series G or H warrants, the warrant exercise price will be lowered
to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at which the
securities are convertible, as the case may be. If the warrant exercise price is
adjusted, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
warrant will be increased by the product of the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the warrant immediately prior to the sale
multiplied by the percentage by which the warrant exercise price is reduced.

      If CEL-SCI sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities
convertible into common stock at a price below the market price of CEL-SCI's
common stock, the exercise price of the Series G or H warrants will be lowered
by a percentage equal to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest
price at which the securities are convertible, as the case may be, divided by
the then prevailing market price of CEL-SCI's common stock. If the warrant
exercise price is adjusted, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
the exercise of the warrant will be increased by the product of the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant immediately



prior to the sale multiplied by the percentage determined by dividing the price
at which the shares were sold by the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock on
the date of sale.

      However, neither the exercise price of the Series G or H warrants nor the
shares issuable upon the exercise of the Series G or H warrants will be adjusted
as the result of shares issued in connection with a Permitted Financing. A
Permitted Financing involves shares of common stock issued or sold:

     o    in connection with a merger or acquisition or a strategic partnership;

     o    upon the  exercise  of  options  or the  issuance  of common  stock to
          CEL-SCI's employees,  officers, directors,  consultants and vendors in
          accordance with CEL-SCI's equity incentive policies;

     o    pursuant  to the  conversion  or  exercise  of  securities  which were
          outstanding  prior  to July  12,  2002 in the  case  of the  Series  G
          warrants and January 7, 2003 in the case of the Series H warrants;

     o    to key officers of CEL-SCI in lieu of their respective salaries.

      In May 2003, CEL-SCI sold shares of its common stock plus Series I
warrants to a strategic partner at prices equal to or above the then current
price of CEL-SCI's common stock. As of December 1, 2003 the Series I warrants
allowed the holder to purchase 1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a
price of $0.47 per share at any time prior to May 30, 2008.

      In September 2003, CEL-SCI entered into an equity line of credit agreement
with Rubicon Group Ltd. in order to establish a possible source of funding for
the development of CEL-SCI's technologies. As consideration for extending the
equity line of credit, CEL-SCI granted Rubicon Group warrants to purchase
395,726 shares of common stock at a price of $0.83 per share at any time prior
to September 16, 2008.

    On December 1, 2003, CEL-SCI sold 2,999,964 shares of its common stock, to a
group of private institutional investors for approximately $2,550,000, or $0.85
per share. As part of this transaction, the investors and the sales agent for a
number of the investors received Series J warrants which, as of December 1,
2003, allowed the investors to purchase 991,003 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
at a price of $1.32 per share at any time prior to December 1, 2006.

Transfer Agent

     Computershare Trust Co., Inc., of Denver,  Colorado,  is the transfer agent
for CEL-SCI's common stock.







                                     EXPERTS

      The financial statements and the related financial statement schedules
incorporated in this prospectus by reference from CEL-SCI's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2003, 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

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.


                                      II-3






         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.





















                                      II-4







                                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/A and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Vienna, Commonwealth of Virginia, on the 8th day of
