Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding LeukoSite's drug
development programs, clinical trials, receipt of regulatory approval, capital
needs, intellectual property, expectations and intentions. Forward-looking
statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and LeukoSite's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below under
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. The factors set forth below
under "Risk Factors" and other cautionary statements made in this prospectus
should be read and understood as being applicable to all related forward-looking
statements wherever they appear in this prospectus.
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.
OUR DRUG CANDIDATES MAY NOT PROVE TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN HUMAN
CLINICAL TRIALS.
We are currently testing three monoclonal antibody and two 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.
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
-3-
<PAGE>
- 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 are required to file a Biologies Licensing
Application (BLA) 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 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
-4-
<PAGE>
- 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.
WE DEPEND ON OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS.
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 collaboration agreements with Warner-Lambert Company, Roche
Bioscience, Kyowa Hakko Kogyo, Ltd. and Genentech, Inc. Each of our partners has
the right, but not the obligation, to conduct preclinical and clinical trials of
the compounds developed during their collaboration with us and to develop and
commercialize any drug candidates resulting from their collaboration with us.
For example, under the Genentech collaboration agreement, Genentech has the
right, but not the obligation, to conduct Phase III clinical trials of 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 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 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
-5-
<PAGE>
- 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)
OUR AGREEMENTS WITH OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS ARE TERMINABLE.
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. The following table explains how some of
our major collaboration agreements can be terminated:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
AGREEMENT TERMINATION RIGHTS
- -------------------------------- ------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Warner-Lambert Company (all agreements) By either party upon breach by other
party; at any time for any reason
upon 6 months written notice
Kyowa Hakko Kogyo, Ltd. By either party upon breach by other
party; at any time upon 60 days
written notice
Genentech, Inc. By either party upon breach by other
party; at any time upon 9 months
written notice
Roche BioScience By either party upon breach by other
party and for such other reasons (by
Roche BioScience) as set forth in
the agreement
</TABLE>
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.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND AN EXPECTATION OF 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 $52.8
million through March 31, 1999. LeukoSite expects to incur significant
additional operating losses over the next several years and
-6-
<PAGE>
expects cumulative losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and
development efforts, preclinical and clinical trials and commercialization
expenses. In 1999, we expect that our only revenues will come 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.
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 our existing collaboration
agreements will provide the necessary funding to meet our operating expenses.
LeukoSite intends to seek additional funding through public or private
financing or collaboration or other arrangements with collaborative partners. If
we raise additional funds by issuing new equity securities, this may result in
further dilution to our existing stockholders. In addition, any future investors
may demand (and we may have to grant) rights superior to those of our existing
stockholders in order to obtain additional funds. Still, 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.
OUR PATENT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE.
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
-7-
<PAGE>
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 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.
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 U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office 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.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.
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
-8-
<PAGE>
proceeding could subject LeukoSite to significant liabilities or require
LeukoSite to cease certain activities. If any of our present or future products
or processes 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.
INTENSE COMPETITION CREATES RISKS.
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.
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. LeukoSite and ILEX have an agreement with
Boehringer Ingleheim for the production of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- for our
clinical trials and for any commercial sales. 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.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ILEX JOINT VENTURE.
LeukoSite has entered into a joint venture with ILEX for the
development and commercialization of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- for the
treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. As part of the joint venture, we are
obligated to share fifty percent of the development costs of CAMPATH-Registered
Trademark-. If LeukoSite fails for any reason to make a required capital
contribution to the joint venture, then ILEX may gain control of the management
of the joint venture and become entitled to a greater share of the profits
derived
-9-
<PAGE>
from product sales of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark-. At the same time, if ILEX
fails for any reason to make a required capital contribution to the joint
venture, then we may be required to make additional capital contributions to the
joint venture to maintain the desired level of development activities by the
joint venture. It is possible that we may not have the resources to compensate
for any failure by ILEX to make any capital contributions in its stead and the
joint venture may not be able to continue operations with lesser funding. In
addition, after the earlier of a change in control (as defined in the joint
venture agreement between LeukoSite and ILEX) of ILEX or LeukoSite and October
2, 2000, either company has the right to purchase the other company's ownership
of the joint venture in the event of an unresolved deadlock. As a result,
LeukoSite may never be able to recoup its investment in the joint venture.
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.
CERTAIN EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS HOLD A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR STOCK.
LeukoSite's officers, directors and principal stockholders own or
control approximately 47.7% of the outstanding common stock. As a result,
these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control most
matters requiring approval by the stockholders.
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.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
THERE ARE THREE GROUPS OF SELLING STOCKHOLDERS COVERED BY THIS
PROSPECTUS. The first group of stockholders are those persons who are former
shareholders of CytoMed, Inc. who have received shares and/or may receive (as
a portion of contingent consideration for the merger) additional shares of
LeukoSite's common stock. The second group of stockholders are those persons
who purchased shares of LeukoSite common stock in the private placement of
LeukoSite's common stock which occurred on July 1, 1998 and/or who were
entitled to have shares registered in connection therewith. The third group
of stockholders are those persons who are both former shareholders of
CytoMed, Inc. and participants in the July 1998 private placement and who
received shares (and/or are expected to receive additional shares) of common
stock in connection with both transactions.
CYTOMED MERGER ONLY
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
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. Our registration of the shares of
common stock does not necessarily mean that the selling shareholders will sell
all or any of the shares. Certain of the selling stockholders have agreed not to
sell any of their shares of common stock acquired as consideration for the
merger until after August 11, 1999.
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the common stock as of July 28, 1999, by each of the
selling stockholders.
The information provided in the tables below with respect to each
selling stockholder is based upon our calculation of such ownership under the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization and/or has been obtained from
such selling stockholder. 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 LeukoSite. 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

1998 PRIVATE PLACEMENT
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Under a Registration Rights Agreement dated July 1, 1998 among
LeukoSite and certain selling stockholders, we agreed to register the LeukoSite
common stock sold to those selling stockholders in 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 does not necessarily
mean that the selling shareholders will sell all or any of the shares. The
following list of selling stockholders also includes those persons who are
entitled to have registered certain shares of common stock held by them pursuant
to registration rights previously granted by LeukoSite.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the common stock as of July 28, 1999, by each of the
selling stockholders.
-16-
<PAGE>
The information provided in the table below with respect to each
selling stockholder has either been obtained from such selling stockholder or
estimated by the Company (in cases in which such selling stockholders did not
provide updated information). 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. Certain 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,
- 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 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 underwriters, broker/dealers or agents. The selling stockholders and any
underwriters, 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
-24-
<PAGE>
exemption is available and complied with.
Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in a
distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market-making
activities with respect to the common stock for nine business days 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 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.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made pursuant to this Registration Statement,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described in Item 15 above,
or otherwise, 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 Securities 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 whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Registrant, LeukoSite, Inc., certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
