ITEM 5        OTHER EVENTS

              On September 27, 1996, the shareholders of Techniclone
International Corporation, a California corporation and predecessor of
registrant ("Techniclone California"), approved a change of that company's
state of incorporation from the State of California to the State of Delaware.
The reincorporation was effected by a merger of Techniclone California with and
into registrant on March 24, 1997.  Registrant, a Delaware corporation, was
organized solely for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation and is the
surviving corporation in the merger.
