RISK FACTORS

         INVESTING IN  LEUKOSITE'S  COMMON STOCK IS VERY RISKY.  YOU SHOULD BE
ABLE TO BEAR A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

         IF CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) IS NOT APPROVED FOR SALE OF IF
SCHERING AG DOES NOT SUCCESSFULLY MARKET CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) ON OUR
BEHALF, OUR ANTICIPATED FUTURE REVENUE TARGETS WILL NOT BE ACHIEVED.

         We have only one product in the process of being reviewed by the FDA
for approval, our CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) monoclonal antibody, and that
review is in the early stages. There can be no assurance that the FDA or any
foreign governmental agency will approve CAMPATH(Registered Trademark) for
commercial sale on a timely basis or at all. The failure of CAMPATH (Registered
Trademark) to be approved by FDA and foreign governmental agencies on a timely
basis would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

         We have no experience with commercial sales and marketing. We will rely
solely upon Schering AG and its U.S. affiliate, Berlex Laboratories, for the
marketing, distribution and sale of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the United
States and Europe. We have no plans to directly market CAMPATH (Registered
Trademark). Our right to share in the profits for U.S. sales of CAMPATH
(Registered Trademark) or to receive a royalty on sales of CAMPATH (Registered
Trademark) outside the U.S. is dependent upon the marketing and sales activities
of Schering and Berlex. We can make no assurances that there will be any profits
on sales of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the U.S. In the event that there
are losses resulting from the marketing of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the
U.S., LeukoSite will bear one-third of those losses.

         Our only source of revenues from product sales, if any, for the next
several years is likely to be from sales of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark);
however, we cannot be certain that CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) will be
approved for commercial sale or accepted in the United States or in any foreign
markets. A number of factors may affect the rate and level of market acceptance
of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark), including:

      -the perception by physicians and other members of the health care
       community of its safety and efficacy or that of competing products, if
       any;

      -the effectiveness of Berlex's sales and marketing efforts in the United
       States and the effectiveness of Schering's sales and marketing efforts in
       Europe;

      -the marketing and continued development of competing drugs;


                                       4
<PAGE>

      -unfavorable publicity concerning CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or
       comparable drugs;

      -its price relative to other drugs or competing treatments;

      -the availability of third party reimbursement; and

      -regulatory developments related to the manufacture or continued use of
       CAMPATH (Registered Trademark).

         WE RELY ON BOEHRINGER INGLEHEIM AS OUR SOLE SOURCE MANUFACTURER OF
CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) AND OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES IN THE
FUTURE WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT
QUANTITIES OF CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) FROM THEM.

         We have an agreement with Boehringer Ingleheim for the production of
CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) for our clinical trials and for any commercial
sales. If Boehringer Ingleheim were not able to produce sufficient quantities of
CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or if we were required to transfer manufacturing
processes of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) to other third-party manufacturers,
then we could experience significant delays in supply. We have no experience in
manufacturing and we lack the facilities and personnel to manufacture CAMPATH
(Registered Trademark) and to produce an adequate supply to meet future
requirements. The loss of Boehringer Ingleheim as our contract manufacturer for
CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or its inability to meet our requirements of
supply of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) would have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.

         OUR DRUG CANDIDATES MAY NOT PROVE TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN HUMAN
CLINICAL TRIALS.

         We are currently testing three monoclonal antibodies and three small
molecule products in human clinical trials. Clinical trials of drug candidates
involve the testing of potential therapeutic agents in humans to determine
whether the drug candidates are safe and effective and, if so, to what degree.
Many drugs in human clinical trials fail to demonstrate the desired safety and
efficacy characteristics. Drugs in later stages of clinical development may fail
to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through
initial human testing. The clinical trials of any of our drug candidates may not
be successful which may prevent us from commercializing the drug, substantially
impairing our business, financial condition and results of operations.


                                       5
<PAGE>

         OUR DRUG CANDIDATES ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND PRODUCT
APPROVALS.

         Our products currently under development are subject to extensive and
rigorous regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA, and by state
and local governments. If we market these products abroad, foreign governments
may also impose export/import requirements and other restrictive regulations. We
must complete all appropriate regulatory clearance processes before
commercializing a product, which is lengthy and expensive. We cannot be sure
that we can obtain necessary regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all,
for any of the products we are currently developing, and all of the following
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations

     --   significant delays in obtaining or failing to obtain required
          approvals

     --   loss of previously obtained approvals

     --   failing to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements

         Complying with FDA regulatory requirements applicable to product
development and obtaining FDA approval can take a number of years, involves the
expenditure of substantial resources and is uncertain. Many products that
initially appear promising ultimately do not reach the market because they are
found to be unsafe or ineffective or cannot meet the FDA's other regulatory
requirements. Moreover, it is possible that the current regulatory framework
could change or additional regulations could arise at any stage during our
product development, which may affect our ability to obtain approval as
anticipated, delay the submission or review of an application, or require
additional expenditures by LeukoSite.

         All of LeukoSite's product candidates will require FDA and foreign
government approvals for commercialization, none of which have been obtained.
LeukoSite and ILEX Oncology, our joint venture partner for the development of
CAMPATH (Registered Trademark), are required to file a Biologics Licensing
Application with the FDA before beginning commercialization of CAMPATH
(Registered Trademark) in the United States and must also file for marketing
approval from other jurisdictions. We are not certain when, independently or
with our collaborative partners, we will submit any marketing applications for
our other monoclonal antibodies or small molecule antagonists under development.
We cannot guarantee that any studies will demonstrate that the products are safe
and effective for their intended uses, or that the FDA will grant required
approval on a timely basis, or at all, for CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or
other product for any studied indications.

         Government regulations may cause delays in LeukoSite's marketing of
products for a considerable or indefinite time, which could impose costly
procedural requirements upon LeukoSite's activities. While we attempt to comply
with such applicable government regulations, larger companies or companies more
experienced in regulatory



                                       6
<PAGE>

affairs may obtain a competitive advantage over us. Delays in obtaining
governmental regulatory approval could adversely affect our marketing strategy
as well as our ability to generate revenue from commercial sales. Our inability
to obtain marketing approval of our products on a timely basis, or at all, would
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

         WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.

         Many of LeukoSite's research and development programs are at an early
stage of development. The FDA has not approved any of our product candidates. We
have limited experience in conducting preclinical and clinical trials.
Furthermore, even if we receive initially positive preclinical trial results,
such results do not mean that similar results will be obtained in the later
stages of drug development, such as additional preclinical trials or human
clinical testing. All of our potential drug candidates are prone to the risks of
failure inherent in pharmaceutical product development, including the
possibility that none of our drug candidates will or can

         --be safe and effective

         --otherwise meet applicable regulatory standards

         --receive the necessary regulatory marketing approvals

         --develop into commercially viable drugs

         --be manufactured or produced economically and on a large scale

         --be successfully marketed

         --be reimbursed by government or private consumers

         --achieve customer acceptance

         In addition, third parties may preclude us from marketing our drugs
through enforcement of their proprietary rights. Or, third parties may succeed
in marketing equivalent or superior drug products. Our failure to develop safe,
commercially viable drugs would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

         IF OUR COLLARATIVE PARTNERS DO NOT ACTIVELY SEEK TO COMMERCIALIZE DRUG
CANDIDATES RESULTING FROM THEIR COLLABORATION WITH US, OUR REVENUES WILL SUFFER.

         A key element of LeukoSite's strategy is to accelerate certain of its
drug discovery and development programs and to fund its capital requirements, in
part, through collaboration agreements with major pharmaceutical companies. We
currently have



                                       7
<PAGE>

collaboration agreements with Warner-Lambert Company, Roche Bioscience, Kyowa
Hakko Kogyo, Ltd. and Genentech, Inc., Schering AG, and Hoechst Marion Roussel.
Warner-Lambert, Roche, Kyowa and Hoechst Marion Roussel have the right, but not
the obligation, to conduct preclinical and clinical trials of the compounds
developed during their collaboration with us and to commercialize any drug
candidates resulting from their collaboration with us. Genentech has the right,
but not the obligation, to conduct Phase III clinical trials of and to
commercialize our LDP-02 monoclonal antibody product. Thus, the collaboration
agreements allow our collaborative partners significant discretion in electing
whether to pursue the development of any potential drug candidates. As a result,
we cannot control the amount and timing of the resources dedicated by our
collaborative partners to their respective collaborations with us.

         This also means that LeukoSite's right to receive revenues under the
collaboration agreements for drug development milestones or royalties,
co-promotion rights or profit-sharing on sales is dependent largely upon the
activities and the development, manufacturing and marketing resources and
abilities of its collaborative partners. As such,

         --our partners may not pursue the  development  and  commercialization
           of compounds  resulting from their collaboration with us

         --any development or commercialization may not be successful even if
           our partners pursued such efforts

         --we may not derive substantial or any royalty or product sales revenue
           from our collaborations

         Moreover, certain drug candidates discovered by LeukoSite may be
competitive with our partners' drugs or drug candidates. Accordingly, it is
possible that our collaborative partners will choose not to proceed with the
development of our drug candidates or that they will pursue their existing or
alternative technologies in preference to our drug candidates. We advise you
that

         --our interests may not always coincide with those of our collaborative
           partners

         --some of our collaborative partners could independently develop or
           develop with third parties drugs which compete with ours

         --disagreements with our partners over rights to technology or other
           proprietary interests might occur, leading to delays in research or
           in the development and commercialization of certain product
           candidates (such disputes could also require or result in litigation
           or arbitration, which is time-consuming and expensive)



                                       8
<PAGE>

         IF OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS TERMINATE OUR AGREEMENTS WITH THEM, OUR
ABILITY TO FUND OUR RESEARCH OPERATIONS AND CLINICAL TRIALS WILL SUFFER.

         LeukoSite relies on its collaborative partners to fund a substantial
portion of its research operations and clinical trials. Although each of the
collaboration agreements may be extended past its current term, we cannot be
sure that these contracts will be extended or renewed, or that any renewal, if
made, will be on terms favorable to us.

         In short, we cannot guarantee that any of the collaboration agreements
will remain in effect for its expected term. If any of the collaborative
partners terminates or breaches its agreement with LeukoSite, or fails to
conduct its collaborative activities in a timely manner, then the development or
commercialization of any drug candidate or research program with such partner
could be delayed or terminated. Alternatively, we may have to devote unexpected
and unbudgeted additional resources to such development or commercialization,
all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

         OUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES MAY CAUSE US TO CONTINUE TO INCUR FUTURE
LOSSES.

         LeukoSite has incurred a net operating loss every year since it was
incorporated in May 1992, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.8
million through September 30, 1999. LeukoSite expects to incur significant
additional operating losses over the next several years and expects cumulative
losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and development
efforts, preclinical and clinical trials and commercialization expenses. In
2000, we expect that our only revenues will come primarily from milestone
payments and any other amounts received under existing and future collaboration
agreements, if any. It is possible that we may not be able to

         -successfully commercialize any of our products

         -establish any additional collaborative relationships on terms
          acceptable to us

         -maintain the current collaboration agreements in effect

         -achieve the milestones that are required for us to receive funds from
          our current collaborative partners

         LeukoSite's ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability is
dependent in part on its and its collaborative partners' ability to complete the
development of drug candidates successfully, to obtain regulatory approvals for
drug candidates and to manufacture and commercialize any resulting drugs. We
cannot provide assurance that we will successfully identify, develop,
commercialize, manufacture and market any products, obtain required regulatory
approvals or achieve profitability.



                                       9
<PAGE>

         WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND ARE UNCERTAIN AS TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF FUTURE FUNDING.

         LeukoSite will require substantial additional funds in order to finance
its drug discovery and development programs, fund operating expenses, pursue
regulatory clearances, and prosecute and defend its intellectual property
rights. We depend heavily upon our collaborative partners for research and
clinical trials funding and we cannot be sure that revenues from product sales
or our existing collaboration agreements will provide the necessary funding to
meet our operating expenses. In the event that the merger of LeukoSite and
Millennium is not consummated, LeukoSite will have to seek additional funding
through public or private financing or collaboration or other arrangements with
collaborative partners. The raising of additional funds through the issuance of
equity securities may result in further dilution to our existing stockholders.
We cannot be sure that additional financing will be available, in the first
instance, from any sources or, even if available, that such funds will be
available on acceptable terms.

         WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL OBTAIN SUFFICIENT PATENT PROTECTION,
OR THAT ANY SUCH PATENTS SO OBTAINED WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PROTECTION AGAINST
COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS OR PROCESSES.

         LeukoSite's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain United
States and foreign patent protection for its drug candidates and processes,
preserve its trade secrets, and operate without infringing the proprietary
rights of third parties. We place considerable importance on obtaining patent
protection for significant new technologies, products and processes. Legal
standards relating to the validity of patents covering pharmaceutical and
biotechnological inventions, and the scope of claims made under such patents,
are still developing. Our patent position is highly uncertain and involves
complex legal and factual questions. We cannot be certain that the named
applicants or inventors of the subject matter covered by our patent applications
or patents (whether directly owned by us or licensed to us) were the first to
invent or the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Third
parties may challenge, infringe upon, circumvent or seek to invalidate existing
or future patents owned by or licensed to us. A court or other agency with
jurisdiction may find our patents unenforceable. Even if we have valid patents,
these patents still may not provide sufficient protection against competitive
products or other commercially valuable products or processes.

         If a third party claims the same or overlapping subject matter as we
have claimed in a United States patent application or patent, then we may decide
or be required to participate in interference proceedings in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) in order to determine who invented the subject
matter first. If we lost such an interference proceeding, then we would be
deprived of the patent protection we previously sought or obtained. Indeed,
regardless of whether we win or lose in such proceedings, we would still incur
substantial costs.



                                      10
<PAGE>

         In addition to patent protection, LeukoSite relies on trade secrets,
proprietary know-how, and confidentiality provisions in agreements with our
collaborative partners, employees and consultants to protect our intellectual
property. We also rely on invention assignment provisions in agreements with
employees and certain consultants. It is possible that these agreements could be
breached or that we might not have adequate remedies for any such breaches.
Third parties may learn of or independently discover our trade secrets,
proprietary know-how and intellectual property, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         LeukoSite's product candidates LDP-01, LDP-02 and CAMPATH (Registered
Trademark) are humanized monoclonal antibodies. We are aware that both the PTO
and certain foreign governments have issued patents to third parties which
relate to certain humanized antibodies, products useful for making humanized
antibodies, and processes for making and using humanized antibodies. We may
choose to seek or be required to seek licenses under certain of these patents.

         We are also aware of third party applications in the United States and
abroad relating to certain humanized monoclonal antibodies, products useful for
making humanized antibodies, and processes for making and using humanized
antibodies. LeukoSite may choose to seek or be required to seek licenses under
some or all of the patents which might issue from these patent applications.

         THERE IS SIGNIFICANT AND WIDESPREAD LITIGATION IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL
AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY REGARDING PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND OUR
BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE BECOME
INVOLVED IN SUCH LITIGATION.

         There is significant and widespread litigation in the pharmaceutical
and biotechnology industry regarding patents and proprietary rights. LeukoSite
may need to assert claims of infringement, enforce its patents, protect trade
secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights, or determine the scope
or validity of proprietary rights of third parties. Conversely, we may need to
defend against claims of infringement by third parties. We cannot guarantee that
any of our patents will ultimately be held valid or that our efforts to assert
or defend any patents, trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property
rights would be successful. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that our products or
processes will not be held to infringe the patents or other intellectual
property rights of others. Uncertainties emanating from the initiation and
continuation of any patent or related litigation could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         The expenses of intellectual property litigation or other similar
proceedings would be likely to be substantial, and could have a material adverse
effect on LeukoSite's business, financial condition and results of operations.
An adverse outcome in such litigation or proceeding could subject LeukoSite to
significant liabilities or require LeukoSite to cease certain activities. If any
of our present or future products or processes



                                       11
<PAGE>

is alleged or determined to infringe upon the patents or impermissibly use the
intellectual property of others, we may choose or be required to obtain licenses
from third parties under their patents or proprietary rights. We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to obtain those licenses on acceptable terms, if
at all. In such event, we would be severely restricted or prohibited from the
development, manufacture and sale of our drug candidates.

         IF OUR COMPETITIORS SUCCEED IN DEVELOPING OR LICENSING TECHNOLOGIES OR
FUTURE DRUG PRODUCTS, OUR TECHNOLOGY AND FUTURE DRUG PRODUCTS COULD BECOME
OBSOLETE AND NONCOMPETITIVE.

         The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely
competitive. LeukoSite has many competitors both in the United States and
abroad, including major, multinational pharmaceutical and chemical companies,
specialized biotechnology firms and universities and other research
institutions. Many of our competitors have greater financial and other
resources, such as larger research and development staffs and more effective
marketing and manufacturing organizations. Our competitors may succeed in
developing or licensing on an exclusive basis technologies and drugs that are
more effective or less costly than any which we are currently developing, which
could render our technology and future drug products obsolete and
noncompetitive. It is possible for our competitors to obtain FDA or other
regulatory approvals for drug candidates before we can. In general, companies
that begin commercial sale of their drugs before their competitors have a
significant competitive advantage in the marketplace, including the ability to
obtain certain patent and FDA marketing exclusivity rights that would delay our
ability to market certain products. Even if our drugs or drug products are
approved for sale, we cannot assure our ability to compete successfully with
competitors' existing products or products under development.

         WE RELY ON CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS AND LACK MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE
OURSELVES.

         In addition to relying on Boehringer Ingleheim as the sole manufacturer
of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark), LeukoSite depends on third parties to
manufacture its product candidates and is aware of only a limited number of
manufacturers which it believes has the ability and capability to manufacture
its drug candidates for preclinical and clinical trials. If we were required to
transfer manufacturing processes to other third-party manufacturers, then we
could experience significant delays in supply. If, at any time, we are unable to
maintain, develop or contract for manufacturing capabilities on acceptable
terms, then our ability to conduct preclinical and clinical trials with our drug
candidates will be adversely affected, resulting in delays in the submission of
drug candidates for regulatory approvals. We have no experience in manufacturing
and we currently lack the facilities and personnel to manufacture products in
accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices as prescribed by the FDA or to
produce an adequate supply of compounds to meet future requirements for
preclinical and clinical trials.

         RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE COULD RENDER PRODUCTS OBSOLETE.

         Biotechnology and related pharmaceutical technology have undergone and
are subject to rapid and significant change. LeukoSite expects that the
technologies associated with biotechnology research and development will
continue along this rapid path. Our success will depend in large part on our
ability to maintain a competitive position in the rapidly changing environment.
Because of the rapid changes in technology, our compounds, products or processes
may become obsolete before we can recover the expenses incurred in developing
such compounds, products or processes. We cannot assure that we can maintain our
technological competitiveness.

         WE DEPEND ON KEY PERSONNEL.

         We believe that our ability to successfully implement our business
strategy is highly dependent on our management and scientific team. None of our
executive officers has employment agreements with us. Losing the services of one
or more of these individuals might hinder our ability to achieve our development
objectives. We are highly dependent on our ability to hire and retain qualified
scientific and technical personnel. The competition for these employees is
intense. We cannot be sure that we can continue to hire and retain the qualified
personnel needed for our business. Loss of the services of or the failure to
recruit key scientific and technical personnel could adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition.

         WE HAVE NOT DECLARED ANY DIVIDENDS.

         We have never declared or paid cash dividends. We do not intend to
declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

                                    LEUKOSITE

ANM, Inc. will merger with and into LeukoSite, whereby LeukoSite will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Millennium (the "Merger"). Each LeukoSite stockholder
will receive for each share of Leukosite stock 0.4296 of Millennium Common

These shares were issued to former CytoMed shareholders as additional merger

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

         The Selling Stockholders covered by this prospectus are persons who

July 1, 1998 among LeukoSite and certain selling stockholders, we agreed to

                                       14

         CytoMed Merger. Under an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization dated January 4, 1999 among LeukoSite, LeukoSite Merger
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LeukoSite, and CytoMed, Inc., we
agreed to register the LeukoSite common stock to be issued as consideration for
the merger of CytoMed with and into LeukoSite Merger Corporation for the
accounts of the former shareholders of CytoMed. We also agreed to use our best
efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for two years, or until all
of the shares are sold under the Registration Statement, whichever comes first.

         ProScript Merger. Under an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization dated June 22, 1999 among LeukoSite, ProScript Acquisition Co., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LeukoSite, ProScript, Inc., HealthCare Ventures III,
L.P. and HealthCare Ventures IV, L.P., the shares of LeukoSite common stock
issued in connection therewith were required to be registered upon written
notice to LeukoSite or as a piggyback on any other registration statement being
filed by the Company.

         1999 Private Placement. Under two separate Registration Rights
Agreements each dated July 20, 1999 between LeukoSite and each of Perseus
Capital LLC and HealthCare Ventures V, L.P., we agreed to register the LeukoSite
common stock issued in connection with the private placement and to use our best
efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for two years, or until all
of the shares are sold under the Registration Statement, whichever comes first.

         Our registration of the shares of common stock hereunder does not
necessarily mean that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the
shares. The following tables set forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the common stock as of November 3, 1999, by each of the
selling stockholders. The estimated information provided in the tables below
with respect to each selling stockholder, however, has not been obtained
recently from all such selling stockholders and is based only on estimations by
the Company to the best of its knowledge. Except as otherwise disclosed below,
none of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had,
any position, office or other material relationship with the Company. Because
the selling stockholders may sell all or some portion of the shares of common
stock beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming each selling
stockholder sells all of its shares offered hereby) can be given as to the
number of shares of common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling
stockholders after this offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may have
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they last
provided the information regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned
by them, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by
them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933. Selling stockholders have not provided updated information to us
regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The shares of common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling
stockholders in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at market prices at
the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may offer their shares of common
stock in one or more of the following transactions:

     --on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the
       common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including the
       Nasdaq National Stock Market,

     --in the over-the-counter market,

     --in private transactions,



                                       22
<PAGE>

     --through options,

     --by pledge to secure debts and other obligations, or

     --a combination of any of the above transactions.

         If required, we will distribute a supplement to this prospectus to
describe material changes in the terms of the offering. The supplement will set
forth the aggregate number of shares of common stock being offered and the terms
of such offering, including the name or names of the broker/dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the
selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or
reallowed to be paid to broker/dealers.

         The shares of common stock described in this prospectus may be sold
from time to time directly by the selling stockholders. Alternatively, the
selling stockholders may from time to time offer shares of common stock to or
through broker/dealers or agents. The selling stockholders and any
broker/dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares of
common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock and
any compensation received by any underwriter, broker/dealer or agent may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of
1933.

         Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144 rather
than pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may not sell all of
the shares. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift such shares by
other means not described in this prospectus.

         To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions the common
stock must be offered or sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, the common stock may not be
offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an
exemption is available and complied with.

         Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, any person engaged in a distribution of the common stock offered
hereby may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to
the common stock for a specified period prior to the start of the distribution.
In addition, each selling stockholder and any other person participating in a
distribution will be subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including
Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock
by the selling stockholders or any such other person. These factors may affect
the marketability of the common stock and the ability of brokers or dealers to
engage in market-making activities.

         All expenses of this registration will be paid by LeukoSite. These
expenses include the SEC's filing fees and fees under state securities or "blue
sky" laws. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and
selling commissions, if any.
