     The Statement on Schedule 13D, dated December 1, 1994 (the "Original
Statement"), filed by American Home Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Parent" or "Reporting Person"), and on behalf of AC Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated November 2, 1995
("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2, dated November 3, 1995 ("Amendment No.
2"), Amendment No. 3, dated November 15, 1995 ("Amendment No. 3"), Amendment No.
4, dated April 23, 1999 ("Amendment No. 4"), Amendment No. 5, dated May 20, 1999
("Amendment No. 5"), Amendment No. 6, dated August 6, 1999 ("Amendment No. 6"),
Amendment No. 7, dated June 23, 2000 ("Amendment No. 7"), Amendment No. 8, dated
August 9, 2000 ("Amendment No. 8") and Amendment No. 9, dated October 20, 2000
("Amendment No. 9") is hereby further amended by this Amendment No. 10, dated
November 1, 2000 ("Amendment No. 10") to reflect certain changes in the
information previously filed relating to the outstanding Common Stock, $.01 par
value (the "Common Stock"), of Immunex Corporation, a Washington corporation
("Immunex" or "Issuer"), which has its principal executive offices at 51
University Street, Seattle, WA 98101.

NOTE: The percentage ownership calculations included in this Amendment No.
10 used 503,686,206 shares of Immunex Common Stock outstanding as of September
30, 2000, as certified by Immunex in the most recent quarterly notice to Parent
as required under the Governance Agreement, plus 15,544,041 shares of Immunex
Common Stock which became outstanding upon conversion of the Note (defined
below).

     Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following language:

     On October 31, 2000, Parent delivered and Immunex accepted a conversion
notice (attached hereto as Exhibit XIII and is incorporated herein by reference,
the "Conversion Notice") which enclosed the $450 Million 3% Convertible
Subordinated Note due 2006 (the "Note"), pursuant to which Parent irrevocably
exercised its option to convert the entire principal amount of the Note into
shares of Immunex Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase
Agreement referred to in the Note. This conversion was effected (i) in
preparation for the pending primary and secondary public offerings previously
disclosed and (ii) in furtherance of the planned significant facilities
development project by Immunex in Seattle.

     Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following language:

     On October 31, 2000, Parent elected to convert the entire principal amount
of the $450 million Note into 15,544,041 newly issued shares of Immunex Common
Stock. These shares had been reported as beneficially owned since Parent
previously had the option to convert the Note into shares of Immunex Common
Stock. As of October 31, 2000, Parent, together with its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, holds 283,878,088 shares of Immunex Common Stock. Parent's
percentage of beneficial ownership of Immunex Common Stock is equal to 54.7%.
MDP holds a total of 225,108,991 shares of Common Stock in its name (equal to
43.4%) and LPI holds 43,225,056 shares of Common Stock in its name (equal to
8.3%). Parent and MDP share voting and dispositive power over the shares of
Common Stock held of record by MDP. Parent and LPI share voting and dispositive
power over the shares of Common Stock held of record by LPI.

     Item 5(c) is hereby amended by adding the following language:

    On October 31, 2000, Parent converted the entire $450 million principal
amount of the Note into 15,544,041 newly issued shares of Immunex Common Stock
at a price per share of $28.95 pursuant to the Note and the Note Purchase
Agreement.

     Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following language:

     On October 31, 2000, Parent delivered the Conversion Notice attached hereto
as Exhibit XIII which is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to which
Parent elected to convert the entire principal amount of the Note into shares of
Immunex Common Stock.

     Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following language at the end of
Item 7:

     Exhibit XIII - Conversion Notice, dated October 30, 2000, delivered to
Immunex on October 31, 2000, surrendering the Note for conversion into Immunex
Common Stock.


After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.

Dated: November 1, 2000
