       Amendment No.2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1

       Key Features of iNKT Cells
       Naturally Suited for Allogeneic Approaches, page 83

   1.                                                   We note your disclosure
that "[i]n both clinical and preclinical studies, iNKT cells have
                                                        been observed not to
cause, but instead to actively suppress, GvHD, lowering the safety
                                                        risks associated with
other allogeneic immune cells." With reference to your disclosure
                                                        on page 14, please
revise the disclosure on page 83 to provide context to these
                                                        observations by
explaining, if true, that no allogeneic iNKT cell therapy has been deemed
                                                        safe or been approved
by FDA or by any comparable regulatory authority.
