TECHNICLONE CORPORATION Techniclone Corporation was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 25, 1996. On March 24, 1997, Techniclone International Corporation, a California corporation (a predecessor company incorporated in June 1981), was merged with and into Techniclone. This merger was effected for the purpose of effecting a change in our state of incorporation from California to Delaware and making certain changes in our charter documents. Techniclone has one wholly-owned subsidiary Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Techniclone is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of targeted cancer therapeutics. We develop product candidates based primarily on our proprietary collateral tumor targeting technologies for the treatment of solid tumors and a direct tumor targeting agent for the treatment of refractory malignant lymphoma. Collateral tumor targeting is the therapeutic strategy of targeting peripheral structures and cell types, other than the viable cancer cells directly, as a means to treat solid tumors. We are currently developing three advanced collateral targeting agents for solid tumors: tumor necrosis therapy, which is potentially capable of carrying a variety of therapeutic agents to the interior of solid tumors and irradiating the tumor from the inside out; vaseopermeation enhancement agents, which increase the permeability of the tumor site and increase the concentration of killing agents at the core of the tumor; and vascular targeting agents, which shut down the capillaries and blood vessels that serve solid tumors and destroy the vascular structure of the tumor. Clinical trials of our tumor necrosis therapy agent for the treatment of brain cancer are currently being conducted at one medical center, with additional sites underway, and an additional clinical trial for the treatment of pancreatic, prostrate and liver cancers has been initiated at a clinical site in Mexico City. Our scientists are doing preliminary studies on vaseopermeation enhancement agents and on vascular targeting agents. Our direct tumor targeting agent candidate, Oncolym(R), is currently being studied in advanced clinical trials for the treatment of intermediate and high-grade relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma at nine participating medical centers. To date, we have not received any significant revenues. However, on March 8, 1999 we entered into a license agreement with Schering A.G., Germany, a major international pharmaceutical company, with respect to the development, manufacture and marketing of our most advanced direct tumor targeting agent candidate, Oncolym(R), and received an initial $3 million payment. The license agreement with Schering A.G., Germany also provides for additional payments and reimbursements of up to $17 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties based on sales of Oncolym(R). In connection with our agreement with Schering A.G., Germany for Oncolym(R), Schering A.G., Germany has agreed to discuss with us the development and commercialization of vascular targeting agents, one of our collateral tumor targeting technologies. Our principal executive offices are located at 14282 Franklin Avenue, Tustin, California 92780-7017 and our telephone number is (714) 508-6000. 3

RISK FACTORS INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF RISKS AS WELL AS OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF OUR COMMON STOCK, TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS OR INCORPORATED IN THIS PROSPECTUS BY REFERENCE. IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING, OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS MAY BE REDUCED OR DISCONTINUED We have expended, and will continue to expend, substantial funds on the development of our product candidates and for clinical trials. As a result, we have had negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect the negative cash flow from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. We currently have commitments to expend additional funds for antibody and radioactive isotope combination services, clinical trials, product development contracts, license contracts, severance arrangements, employment agreements, consulting agreements, and for the repurchase of marketing rights to certain product technology. We expect operating expenditures related to clinical trials to increase in the future as clinical trial activity increases and expansion for clinical trial production continues. We also expect that the monthly negative cash flow will continue. We will require additional funding to sustain our research and development efforts, provide for future clinical trials, expand our manufacturing and product commercialization capabilities, and continue our operations until we are able to generate sufficient revenue from the sale and/or licensing of our products. Our ability to access funds under our Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement with two institutional investors is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The failure to satisfy these conditions may limit or preclude our ability to access such funds, which could negatively affect our financial position unless additional financing sources are available. We cannot be certain whether we can obtain required additional funding on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. If we do raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, your stock ownership will be diluted and these new securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to yours. If we are unable to raise additional funds when necessary, we may have to reduce or discontinue development, commercialization or clinical testing of some or all of our product candidates or enter into financing arrangements on terms which we would not otherwise accept. WE HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES We have experienced significant losses since inception. As of January 31, 1999, our accumulated deficit was approximately $84,429,000. We expect to incur significant additional operating losses in the future and expect cumulative losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and development efforts, preclinical studies and clinical trials, and expansion of manufacturing and product commercialization capabilities. We also expect losses to fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. All of our products are currently in development, preclinical studies or clinical trials, and no significant revenues have been generated from product sales. To achieve and sustain profitable operations, we must successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for our products, either alone or with others, and must also manufacture, introduce, market and sell our products. The time frame necessary to achieve market success for our products is long and uncertain. We do not expect to generate significant product revenues for the next year. There can be no guarantee that we will ever generate product revenues sufficient to become profitable or to sustain profitability. PROBLEMS IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MAY CAUSE OUR CASH DEPLETION RATE TO INCREASE Our ability to obtain financing and to manage expenses and our cash depletion rate is key to the continued development of product candidates and the completion of ongoing clinical trials. Our cash depletion rate will vary 4

substantially from quarter to quarter as we fund non-recurring items associated with clinical trials, product development, antibody manufacturing and facility expansion and scale-up, patent legal fees and various consulting fees. We have limited experience with clinical trials and if we encounter unexpected difficulties with our operations or clinical trials, we may have to expend additional funds, which would increase our cash depletion rate. OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL Since inception, we have been engaged in the development of drugs and related therapies for the treatment of people with cancer. Our product candidates, which have not received regulatory approval, are generally in the early stages of development. If the initial results from any of the clinical trials are poor, those results will adversely effect our ability to raise additional capital, which will affect our ability to continue full-scale research and development for our antibody technologies. In addition, product candidates resulting from our research and development efforts, if any, are not expected to be available commercially for at least the next year. Our products currently in clinical trials represent a departure from more commonly used methods for cancer treatment. These products, if approved, may experience under-utilization by doctors who are unfamiliar with their application in the treatment of cancer. As with any new drug, doctors may be inclined to continue to treat patients with conventional therapies, in most cases chemotherapy, rather than new alternative therapies. We or our marketing partner may be required to implement an aggressive education and promotion plan with doctors in order to gain market recognition, understanding and acceptance of our products. Market acceptance could also be affected by the availability of third-party reimbursement. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that our product development efforts, including clinical trials, or commercialization efforts will be successful or that any of our products, if approved, can be successfully marketed. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR FACILITIES TO IMPLEMENT COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF OUR PRODUCTS In order to conduct clinical trials on a timely basis, obtain regulatory approval and be commercially successful, we must expand our manufacturing and product commercialization processes so that our product candidates, if approved, can be manufactured and produced in commercial quantities. To date, we have expended significant funds for the expansion of our antibody manufacturing capabilities for clinical trial requirements for two of our product candidates and for refinement of the production processes. We intend to use existing antibody manufacturing capacity to meet the clinical trial requirements for these two product candidates and to support the initial commercialization of these product candidates, if approved. In order to provide additional capacity, we must successfully negotiate agreements with contract antibody manufacturers to have these products produced, the cost of which is estimated to be several million dollars in start-up costs and additional production costs on a "per run basis". Such contracts would also require an additional investment estimated at five to nine million dollars over the next two years for required equipment and related production area enhancements, and for vendor services associated with technology transfer assistance, expansion and production start-up and for regulatory assistance. We have limited manufacturing experience, and cannot make any guarantee as to our ability to expand our manufacturing operations, the suitability of our present facility for clinical trial production or commercial production, our ability to make a successful transition to commercial production or our ability to reach an acceptable agreement with one or more contract manufacturers to produce any of our other product candidates, if approved, in clinical or commercial quantities. 5

OUR TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS MAY PROVE INEFFECTIVE OR BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO MARKET SUCCESSFULLY Our future success is significantly dependent on our ability to develop and test workable products for which we will seek approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration to market to certain defined patient groups. There is a significant risk as to the performance and commercial success of our technology and products. The products we are currently developing will require significant additional laboratory and clinical testing and investment over the foreseeable future. Our proposed products may not prove to be effective in clinical trials or they may cause harmful side effects during clinical trials. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may prove impracticable to manufacture in commercial quantities at a reasonable cost and/or with acceptable quality. Any of these factors could negatively affect our financial position and results of operations. OUR DEPENDENCY ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE CLINICAL TRIALS AND MARKET OUR PRODUCTS We currently procure, and intend in the future to procure, our antibody and radioactive isotope combination services under negotiated contracts with two domestic entities, one Canadian entity and one European entity. We cannot guarantee that these suppliers will be able to qualify their facilities or label and supply antibody in a timely manner, if at all. Prior to commercial distribution of any of our products, if approved, we will be required to identify and contract with a commercial company for commercial antibody and radioactive isotope combination services. We are presently in discussions with a few companies to provide commercial antibody and radioactive isotope combination services. We also currently rely on, and expect in the future to rely on, our current suppliers for all or a significant portion of our requirements for our antibody products. Antibody that has been combined with a radioactive isotope cannot be stockpiled against future shortages. Accordingly, any change in our existing or future contractual relationships with, or an interruption in supply from, any such third-party service provider or antibody supplier could negatively impact our ability to complete ongoing clinical trials and to market our products, if approved. TERMINATION OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SCHERING A.G., GERMANY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS In March 1999, we entered into a worldwide license agreement with Schering A.G., Germany for the worldwide development, marketing and distribution of our advanced direct tumor targeting agent product candidate, Oncolym(R). Under the agreement, Schering A.G., Germany has assumed control of the development of this product candidate and is responsible for obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States and all foreign countries and handling sales and marketing of this product candidate. Schering A.G., Germany may terminate the agreement under certain circumstances, including if (i) there are issues of safety or patient tolerability, (ii) Schering A.G., Germany determines in its reasonable scientific or business discretion prior to receiving regulatory approval that this product candidate is not acceptable for reasons of efficacy or risk/benefit therapeutic ratio, (iii) the United States Food and Drug Administration does not permit the extension or conversion of the current clinical trials by June 30, 1999, or (iv) at any time after receiving regulatory approval upon twelve months notice to us. Schering A.G., Germany may also terminate the agreement upon thirty days' written notice given at any time prior to receiving regulatory approval. We are relying on Schering A.G., Germany to apply its expertise and know-how through the development, launch and sale of this product candidate. If Schering A.G., Germany decides to discontinue the development of this product candidate and terminates our license agreement, we may have to discontinue development, commercialization and clinical testing of this product candidate, which could negatively affect our operations and financial performance. In connection with our agreement with Schering A.G., Germany for our advanced direct tumor targeting agent product candidate, Schering A.G., Germany has also agreed to discuss the development and commercialization of our vascular 6

targeting agent technology. If we enter into an agreement with Schering A.G., Germany with respect to our vascular targeting agent technology, we will also rely on Schering A.G., Germany to apply its expertise and know-how through the development, launch and sale of our vascular targeting agent product candidates. We cannot guarantee that Schering A.G., Germany will devote the resources necessary to successfully develop and/or market any product candidate. WE DO NOT HAVE A SALES FORCE TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS At the present time, we do not have a sales force to market any of our products, if and when they are approved. We intend to sell our products in the United States and internationally in collaboration with one or more marketing partners. If and when we receive approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration for our initial product candidates, the marketing of these products will be contingent upon our ability to either license or enter into a marketing agreement with a large company or our ability to recruit, develop, train and deploy our own sales force. We do not presently possess the resources or experience necessary to market any of our product candidates. Other than an agreement with Schering A.G., Germany with respect to the marketing of our direct tumor targeting agent product candidate, we presently have no agreements for the licensing or marketing of our product candidates, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any such agreements in a timely manner or on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Development of an effective sales force requires significant financial resources, time and expertise. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the financing necessary to establish such a sales force in a timely or cost effective manner, if at all, or that such a sales force will be capable of generating demand for our product candidates, if and when they are approved. WE MAINTAIN ONLY LIMITED PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE AND MAY BE EXPOSED TO CLAIMS IF OUR INSURANCE COVERAGE IS INSUFFICIENT The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products involves an inherent risk of product liability claims. We maintain only limited product liability insurance. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain existing insurance or obtain additional product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Product liability insurance is expensive, difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage, if any, or a product recall could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations. EARTHQUAKES MAY DAMAGE OUR FACILITIES Our corporate and research facilities, where the majority of our research and development activities are conducted, are located near major earthquake faults which have experienced earthquakes in the past. Although we carry limited earthquake insurance, in the event of a major earthquake or other disaster in or near the greater Southern California area, our facilities may sustain significant damage and our operations could be negatively affected. THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF OUR COMMON STOCK IS DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET The Common Stock is presently traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. To maintain inclusion on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we must continue to have either net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, market capitalization of at least $35,000,000, or net income (in either our latest fiscal year or in two of our last three fiscal years) of at least $500,000. In addition, we must meet other requirements, including, but not limited to, having a public float of at least 500,000 shares and $1,000,000, a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock (without falling below this minimum bid price for a period 7

of 30 consecutive trading days), at least two market makers and at least 300 stockholders, each holding at least 100 shares of Common Stock. At various times, we have failed to maintain a $1.00 minimum closing bid price for extended periods of time and expect the closing bid price of the Common Stock to fall below the $1.00 minimum bid requirement from time to time in the future. As of April 28, 1999, we have failed to maintain a $1.00 minimum closing bid price for 17 consecutive trading days. If we fail to meet the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, we will be notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market and will then have a period of 90 calendar days from such notification to achieve compliance with the applicable standard by meeting the minimum closing bid price requirement for at least 10 consecutive trading days during such 90 day period. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain these requirements in the future. If we fail to meet any of The Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements, the market value of the Common Stock could fall and holders of Common Stock would likely find it more difficult to dispose of the Common Stock. In addition, if the minimum closing bid price of the Common Stock is not at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days before we make a call for proceeds under our Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement with two institutional investors or if the Common Stock ceases to be included on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we would have limited or no access to funds under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement. Moreover, should the market price of the Common Stock fall significantly, we would be required to issue to the two institutional investors a much greater number of shares than we would otherwise if the market price were stable or rising, which could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fall further and faster. In addition, we and broker-dealers effecting transactions in the Common Stock may become subject to additional disclosure and reporting requirements applicable to low-priced securities, which may reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Common Stock and limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of Common Stock. THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE As of June 2, 1999, we had approximately 74,536,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. We are also obligated to issue up to an additional approximately 254,000 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of outstanding shares of our 5% Adjustable Convertible Class C Preferred Stock and exercise of related warrants, and may issue up to an additional approximately 18,666,000 shares of Common Stock from time to time under our Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement with two institutional investors in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $13,575,000. In addition, we are obligated to issue warrants equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock issued under such agreement, wich must be exercised on a cashless basis only, and an additional approximately 15,538,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of other outstanding options and other warrants. The conversion rate applicable to our Class C Preferred Stock and the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement, and the exercise price of related warrants, are at a significant discount to the market price of the Common Stock. The sale and issuance of these shares of Common Stock, as well as subsequent sales of shares of Common Stock in the open market, may cause the market price of the Common Stock to fall and might impair our ability to raise additional capital through sales of equity or equity-related securities, whether under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement or otherwise. See "The Equity Line Agreement." OUR HIGHLY VOLATILE STOCK PRICE AND TRADING VOLUME MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LIQUIDITY OF THE COMMON STOCK The market price of the Common Stock, and the market prices of securities of companies in the biotechnology industry generally, have been highly volatile and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. Also, the trading volume in the Common Stock has been highly volatile, ranging from as few as 89,000 shares per day to as many as 19 million shares per day over the past eighteen months, and 8

is likely to continue to be highly volatile. The market price of the Common Stock may be significantly impacted by many factors, including announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors, disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights, publicity regarding actual or potential medical results relating to products under development by us or our competitors and regulatory developments and product safety concerns in both the United States and foreign countries. These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of Common Stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of the Common Stock. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OUR COMPETITORS IN THE BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY The biotechnology industry is intensely competitive. It is also subject to rapid change and sensitive to new product introductions or enhancements. We expect to continue to experience significant and increasing levels of competition in the future. Virtually all of our existing competitors have greater financial resources, larger technical staffs, and larger research budgets than we have, as ell as greater experience in developing products and running clinical trials. Two of our competitors, IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Coulter Pharmaceuticals, Inc., each has a lymphoma antibody that may compete with our direct tumor targeting agent product, Oncolym(R). IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation is currently marketing its lymphoma product for low grade non-Hodgkins lymphoma and we believe that Coulter Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will be marketing its respective lymphoma product prior to the time our Oncolym(R) product will be submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration for marketing approval. Coulter Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has also announced that it intends to seek to conduct clinical trials of its antibody treatment for intermediate and/or high-grade non-Hodgkins lymphomas. In addition, there may be other companies which are currently developing competitive technologies and products or which may in the future develop technologies and products which are comparable or superior to our technologies and products. Some or all of these companies may also have greater financial and technical resources than we have. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing and future competitors or that competition will not negatively affect our financial position or results of operations in the future. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN PATENTS AND LICENSES TO PATENTS Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to obtain or maintain a proprietary position in our products through patents, trade secrets and orphan drug designations. We have been granted several United States patents and have submitted several United States patent applications and numerous corresponding foreign patent applications, and have also obtained licenses to patents or patent applications owned by other entities. However, we cannot assure you that any of these patent applications will be granted or that our patent licensors will not terminate any of our patent licenses. We also cannot guarantee that any issued patents will provide competitive advantages for our products or that any issued patents will not be successfully challenged or circumvented by our competitors. Although we believe that our patents and our licensors' patents do not infringe on any third party's patents, we cannot be certain that we can avoid litigation involving such patents or other proprietary rights. Patent and proprietary rights litigation entails substantial legal and other costs, and we may not have the necessary financial resources to defend or prosecute our rights in connection with any litigation. Responding to, defending or bringing claims related to patents and other intellectual property rights may require our management to redirect our human and monetary resources to address these claims and may take years to resolve. 9

OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS MAY BE REDUCED OR DISCONTINUED DUE TO DIFFICULTIES OR DELAYS IN CLINICAL TRIALS We may encounter unanticipated problems, including development, manufacturing, distribution, financing and marketing difficulties, during the product development, approval and commercialization process. Our product candidates may take longer than anticipated to progress through clinical trials or patient enrollment in the clinical trials may be delayed or prolonged significantly, thus delaying the clinical trials. Delays in patient enrollment will result in increased costs and further delays. If we experience any such difficulties or delays, we may have to reduce or discontinue development, commercialization or clinical testing of some or all of our product candidates. Schering A.G., Germany has recently advised us that it is reviewing the clinical development program for our direct tumor targeting agent product candidate and has stopped enrolling new patients in ongoing clinical trials for this product candidate under the current protocol. Schering A.G., Germany has further informed us that it presently intends to submit a revised protocol to the United States Food and Drug Administration which will contemplate additional clinical trials in the current phase. If Schering A.G., Germany decides to discontinue the development of this product candidate and terminates our license agreement for the worldwide development, distribution and marketing of this product candidate, we may have to discontinue development, commercialization and clinical testing of this product candidate. OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS MAY BE REDUCED OR DISCONTINUED DUE TO DELAYS OR FAILURE IN OBTAINING REGULATORY APPROVALS We will need to do substantial additional development and clinical testing prior to seeking any regulatory approval for commercialization of our product candidates. Testing, manufacturing, commercialization, advertising, promotion, export and marketing, among other things, of our proposed products are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources and we cannot guarantee that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. Companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in conducting advanced human clinical trials, even after obtaining promising results in earlier trials. Furthermore, the United States Food and Drug Administration may suspend clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, such approval may entail limitations on the indicated uses for which it may be marketed. Accordingly, we may experience difficulties and delays in obtaining necessary governmental clearances and approvals to market our products, and we may not be able to obtain all necessary governmental clearances and approvals to market our products. At least initially, we intend, to the extent possible, to rely on licensees to obtain regulatory approval for marketing our products. The failure by us or our licensees to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of any of our product candidates under development could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval of the product, which may require us to reduce or discontinue development, commercialization or clinical testing of some or all of our product candidates. OUR PRODUCTS, IF APPROVED, MAY NOT BE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DUE TO HEALTH CARE REFORM AND THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT LIMITATIONS Recent initiatives to reduce the federal deficit and to reform health care delivery are increasing cost-containment efforts. We anticipate that Congress, state legislatures and the private sector will continue to review and assess alternative benefits, controls on health care spending through limitations on the growth of private health insurance premiums and Medicare and Medicaid spending, price controls on pharmaceuticals and other fundamental changes to the health care delivery system. Legislative debate is expected to continue in the future, and market forces are expected to drive reductions of health care costs. Any such changes could negatively impact the commercial viability of our 10

products, if approved. Our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates, if and when they are approved, will depend in part on the extent to which appropriate reimbursement codes and authorized cost reimbursement levels of such products and related treatment are obtained from governmental authorities, private health insurers and other organizations, such as health maintenance organizations. In the absence of national Medicare coverage determination, local contractors that administer the Medicare program, within certain guidelines, can make their own coverage decisions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any of our product candidates, if approved and when commercially available, will be included within the then current Medicare coverage determination or the coverage determination of state Medicaid programs, private insurance companies and other health care providers. In addition, third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. Also, the trend toward managed health care and the growth of health maintenance organizations in the United States may all result in lower prices for our products, if approved and when commercially available, than we currently expect. The cost containment measures that health care payors and providers are instituting and the effect of any health care reform could negatively affect our financial performance, if and when one or more of our products are approved and available for commercial use. OUR MANUFACTURING AND USE OF HAZARDOUS AND RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN OUR LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, INCREASED COSTS AND INTERRUPTION OF ANTIBODY SUPPLIES The manufacturing and use of our products require the handling and disposal of the radioactive isotope I131. We currently rely on, and intend in the future to rely on, our current contract manufacturers to combine antibodies with radioactive I131 isotope in our products and to comply with various local, state and or national and international regulations regarding the handling and use of radioactive materials. Violation of these local, state, national or international regulations by these companies or a clinical trial site could significantly delay completion of the trials. Violations of safety regulations could occur with these manufacturers, so there is also a risk of accidental contamination or injury. Accordingly, we could be held liable for any damages that result from an accident, contamination or injury caused by the handling and disposal of these materials, as well as for unexpected remedial costs and penalties that may result from any violation of applicable regulations. In addition, we may incur substantial costs to comply with environmental regulations. In the event of any noncompliance or accident, the supply of antibodies for use in clinical trials or commercial products could also be interrupted. OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED IF WE CANNOT ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL Our success is dependent, in part, upon a limited number of key executive officers and technical personnel remaining employed with us, including Larry O. Bymaster, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven C. Burke, our Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. John N. Bonfiglio, our Vice President of Technology and Business Development and interim Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. We also believe that our future success will depend largely upon our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled research and development and technical personnel. We face intense competition in our recruiting activities, including larger companies with greater resources. We do not know if we will be successful in attracting or retaining skilled personnel. The loss of certain key employees or our inability to attract and retain other qualified employees could negatively affect our operations and financial performance. OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY EFFECTED IF OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS OF OUR SUPPLIERS ARE NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT We are aware of the issues associated with the programming code in existing computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. The year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex. The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize date-sensitive information in the year 2000 due to the fact that the programming in most computer systems use a two digit year value, which value will rollover 11

to "00" as of January 1, 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. We have identified substantially all of our major hardware and software platforms in use and have modified and upgraded our hardware, software and information technology and other systems to be year 2000 compliant. We do not presently believe that the year 2000 problem will pose significant operational problems for our internal computer systems or have a negative affect on our operations. However, we cannot assure you that any year 2000 compliance problems of our suppliers will not negatively affect our operations. Because uncertainty exists concerning the potential costs and effects associated with any year 2000 compliance, we intend to continue to make efforts to ensure that third parties with whom we have relationships are year 2000 compliant. We have not incurred significant costs to date associated with year 2000 compliance and presently believe estimated future costs will not be material. However, actual results could differ materially from our expectations due to unanticipated technological difficulties or project delays. If we or any third parties upon which we rely are unable to address the year 2000 issue in a timely manner, it could have an adverse impact on our operations. In order to assure that this does not occur, we have developed a contingency plan and intend to devote all resources required to attempt to resolve any significant year 2000 problems in a timely manner. 12

THE EQUITY LINE AGREEMENT On June 16, 1998, Techniclone entered into a Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement with two institutional investors. Under this agreement, Techniclone may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock for cash consideration up to an aggregate of $20 million. Techniclone also entered into a Placement Agent Agreement and engaged the services of Swartz Investments, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company doing business as Swartz Institutional Finance, as placement agent in connection with the placement of securities of Techniclone with the two institutional investors under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement. Swartz Investments, LLC subsequently assigned and conveyed all of its rights under the Placement Agent Agreement and a related Registration Rights Agreement to Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. and also transferred to Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. all of the shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock previously issued to Swartz Investments, LLC. Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. with respect to which Swartz Investments, LLC is an Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction. The following table provides certain information as of June 2, 1999, with respect to securities of Techniclone issued to the two institutional investors and Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement and the Placement Agent Agreement: Shares of Shares subject Shares of Shares subject Common Stock to Warrants Common Stock to Warrants Issued to the Issued to the Issued to Dun- Issued to Dun- Amount Institutional Institutional woody Brokerage woody Brokerage Date Funded Investors Investors(1) Services, Inc.

(2) Purchase price of $1.375 per share. Subject to adjustment on or about July 15, 1999, if the 10-day low closing bid price immediately preceding July 15, 1999 is less than $1.375 per share, which will obligate Techniclone to issue a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the amount of shares which would have been issued for half the purchase price paid in June 1998, if the purchase price per share had been the 10-day low closing bid price immediately preceding July 15, 1999, and one-half of the amount of shares actually issued on June 1998. (3) Exercise price of $1.375 per share. (4) Issued under a separate agreement between Techniclone and the two institutional investors. (5) Purchase price of $0.8625 per share. (6) Exercise price of $0.8625 per share. (7) Issued in connection with an adjustment on April 15, 1999 to the purchase price for one-half of the initial shares sold to the two institutional investors in June 1998, under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement. (8) Purchase price of $0.6125 per share. (9) Exercise price of $0.6125 per share. (10) Purchase price of $0.7375 per share. (11) Exercise price of $0.7375 per share. Under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement, until June 16, 2001 Techniclone may from time to time, in its discretion and subject to certain restrictions and limitations, sell to the two institutional investors a number of shares of Common Stock equal to up to $2,250,000, less the aggregate dollar amount of any shares sold to the two institutional investors during the immediately preceding three month period. The purchase price for the shares to be sold to the institutional investors is equal to 82.5% of the 10-day low closing bid price immediately preceding the date of sale. However, if 82.5% of such 10-day low closing bid price results in a discount of less than twenty cents per share from such price, the purchase price for the shares will be equal to such 10-day low closing bid price minus twenty cents. The number of shares which may be sold to the two institutional investors at any one time is limited to the same number of shares of restricted securities that the institutional investors would otherwise be able to sell in compliance with Rule 144(e) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, and is also subject to a maximum dollar amount of $13,575,000 as of the date of this prospectus. In addition, at the time of each sale of shares, the two institutional investors will be issued warrants, expiring on December 31, 2004, to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in such sale at an exercise price equal to the price per share at which such shares were sold to the institutional investors. If Techniclone has not fully utilized the relevant commitment amount under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement, Techniclone may also be obligated to issue to the two institutional investors on June 23, 1999, June 23, 2000 and June 23, 2001, warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the difference between the relevant minimum commitment amount ($6,666,667 for 1999, $13,333,333 for 2000 and $20,000,000 for 2001) minus the aggregate amount of Common Stock sold to the institutional investors during all years preceding such date. Under the Placement Agent Agreement, Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. is entitled to receive the following compensation as a placement agent fee in connection with the placement and sale of securities of Techniclone to the two institutional investors: o a cash placement fee equal to 7% of the purchase price of any and all securities placed under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement; o a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the purchase price of any and all securities placed up to the aggregate purchase price of the first $10 million of securities placed under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement; 15

o a one time non-accountable expenses allowance equal to one hundred thousand dollars for any and all securities placed in excess of the aggregate purchase price of the first $10 million of securities placed under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement; and o an amount of securities equal to 10% of all Common Stock issued under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement and an amount of securities equal to 10% of all warrants issued under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement. Techniclone's ability to require the two institutional investors to purchase shares of its Common Stock under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including: o the representations and warranties of Techniclone in the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement must be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of each sale; o Techniclone shall have performed and complied with all obligations under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the warrants issued to the two institutional investors required to be performed as of the date of each sale; o no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall be in effect which prohibits or directly and adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement; o at the time of a sale, there shall have been no material adverse change in Techniclone's business prospects or financial condition, except as disclosed in Techniclone's most recent periodic reports filed since June 16, 1998 with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; o Techniclone's Common Stock shall not have been delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market nor suspended from trading; o the closing bid price of the Common Stock on any trading during the ten days preceding the date of the sale cannot be less than or equal to $0.50; and o if the closing bid price of the Common Stock on any trading day during the ten trading days preceding the date of the sale is less than $1.00 but greater than $0.50, Techniclone may only require the purchase by the two institutional investors of an amount of shares not greater than 15% of the amount that would otherwise be available to Techniclone under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement. Under the Placement Agent Agreement and a related Registration Rights Agreement between Techniclone, the two institutional investors and Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc., as successor in interest to Swartz Investments, LLC, Techniclone has filed a registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, in order to permit Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. to resell to the public the shares of Common Stock issued to Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. (including shares issuable to Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. upon exercise of outstanding warrants ) under the Placement Agent Agreement. The two institutional investors and Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. have agreed that they will not create or increase a net short position with respect to the Common Stock during the ten trading days prior to any sale of shares of Common Stock to the institutional investors or during the thirty calendar days prior to July 15, 1999.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES As of the date of this prospectus, the authorized capital stock of Techniclone consists of 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 10,000 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class B Stock") and 17,200 shares are designated as 5% Adjustable Convertible Class C Preferred Stock ("Class C Stock"). As of June 2, 1999, there were 74,535,767 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by 5,832 stockholders of record, 121 shares of Class C Stock outstanding held by 3 holders of record and no shares of Class B Stock outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such lawful dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Techniclone, and subject to the rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive pro rata all of the remaining assets of Techniclone available for distribution to its stockholders. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and shares of Common Stock to be issued in this offering shall be fully paid and nonassessable. Warrants which are currently held by Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. or which may be issued in the future to Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. under the Placement Agent Agreement are exercisable at any time beginning on the date of issuance of such warrants and ending on December 31, 2004. The shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, when issued upon exercise in whole or in part, will be fully paid and nonassessable, and Techniclone will pay any transfer tax incurred as a result of the issuance of the Common Stock to the holder upon its exercise. Each of the warrants contain provisions that protect the holder against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price. Such adjustments will occur in the event, among others, of a merger, stock split or reverse stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization. Techniclone is not required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of any of the warrants. The holder of the warrants will not possess any rights as a stockholder until such holder exercises the warrants. The warrants may be exercised upon surrender on or before the expiration date of the relevant warrant at the offices of Techniclone, with an exercise form completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the exercise price for the number of shares with respect to which the warrant is being exercised. The exercise price is payable only by way of a "cashless exercise," in which that number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant having a fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price are canceled as payment of the exercise price. For the life of each of the warrants, the holder has the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock without assuming the risk of ownership of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant. The holder of the warrant may be expected to exercise the warrant at a time when Techniclone would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by an offering of Common Stock on terms more favorable than those provided for by the warrants. Furthermore, the terms on which Techniclone could obtain additional capital during the life of the warrants may be adversely affected. This prospectus does not cover any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to the two institutional investors under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued or issuable to the two institutional investors under the Regulation D Common Stock Equity Line Subscription Agreement, which shares have been separately registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, and are the subject of a separate prospectus. 21

LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for Techniclone by Rutan & Tucker, LLP, Costa Mesa, California. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial statement schedule, incorporated in this prospectus by reference from Techniclone Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1998, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report (which expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about Techniclone's ability to continue as a going concern), which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference, and have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Techniclone's Bylaws provide that Techniclone will indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Techniclone believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence by indemnified parties, and permits Techniclone to advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification. Techniclone has liability insurance for its officers and directors. In addition, Techniclone's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, under Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty as a director to Techniclone and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Techniclone for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. Provisions of Techniclone's Bylaws require Techniclone, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from actions not taken in good faith or in a manner the indemnitee believed to be opposed to the best interests of Techniclone) to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors' insurance if available on reasonable terms. To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Techniclone as discussed in the foregoing provisions, Techniclone has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is therefore unenforceable. Techniclone believes that its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. 22

Techniclone has in place a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy that, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, insures the directors and officers of Techniclone against losses arising from any wrongful act (as defined by the policy) in his or her capacity as a director of officer. The policy reimburses Techniclone for amounts which Techniclone lawfully indemnifies or is required or permitted by law to indemnify its directors and officers.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Techniclone Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") and Bylaws include provisions that eliminate the directors' personal liability for monetary damages to the fullest extend possible under Delaware Law or other applicable law (the "Director Liability Provision"). The Director Liability Provision eliminates the liability of directors to Techniclone and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation by a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. However, the Director Liability Provision does not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases or redemption of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transactions from which the director derived an improper benefit. The Director Liability Provision also does not affect a director's liability under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties. Furthermore, under Delaware Law, the limitation liability afforded by the Director Liability Provision does not eliminate a director's personal liability for breach of the director's duty of due care. Although the directors would not be liable for monetary damages to Techniclone or its stockholders for negligent acts or commissions in exercising their duty of due care, the directors remain subject to equitable remedies, such as actions for injunction or rescission, although these remedies, whether as a result of timeliness or otherwise, may not be effective in all situations. With regard to directors who also are officers of Techniclone, these persons would be insulated from liability only with respect to their conduct as directors and would not be insulated from liability for acts or omissions in their capacity as officers. These provisions may cover actions undertaken by the Board of Directors, which may serve as the basis for a claim against Techniclone under the federal and state securities laws. Techniclone has been advised that it is the position of the SEC that insofar as the foregoing provisions may be involved to disclaim liability for damages arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), such provisions are against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and are therefore unenforceable. Delaware law provides a detailed statutory framework covering indemnification of directors, officers, employees or agents of Techniclone against liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, employees or agents. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 145") provides that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defense of any action or proceeding if such person is sued by reason of his service to the corporation, to the extent that such person has been successful in defense of such action or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter raised in such litigation, (ii) may, in actions other II-1

than actions by or in the right of the corporation (such as derivative actions), be indemnified for expenses actually and reasonably incurred, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of such litigation, even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and in a criminal proceeding, if he did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful), and (iii) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses actually and reasonably incurred (but not judgments or settlements) of any action by the corporation or of a derivative action (such as a suit by a stockholder alleging a breach by the director or officer of a duty owed to the corporation), even if he is not successful, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that no indemnification is permitted without court approval if the director has been adjudged liable to the corporation. Delaware Law also permits a corporation to elect to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under a broader range of circumstances than that provided under Section 145. The Certificate contains a provision that takes full advantage of the permissive Delaware indemnification laws (the "Indemnification Provision") and provides that Techniclone is required to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, provided, however, that prior to making such discretionary indemnification, Techniclone must determine that the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, the person had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In furtherance of the objectives of the Indemnification Provision, Techniclone has also entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in Techniclone's Certificate and Bylaws (the "Indemnification Agreements"). Techniclone believes that the Indemnification Agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements, an indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification to the extent permitted by Section 145 or other applicable law. In addition, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, an indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification for any amount or expense which the indemnitee actually and reasonably incurs as a result of or in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, preparing to be a witness, or otherwise participating in any threatened, pending or completed claim, suit, arbitration, inquiry or other proceeding (a "Proceeding") in which the indemnitee is threatened to be made or is made a party or participant as a result of his or her position with Techniclone, provided that the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Techniclone and had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. If the Proceeding is brought by or in the right of Techniclone and applicable law so provides, the Indemnification Agreement provides that no indemnification against expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding as to which the indemnitee shall have been adjudged liable to Techniclone. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Techniclone pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Techniclone 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.

Consent of Rutan & Tucker, LLP (contained in Exhibit 5)* 23.2... Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP* - ------------------------- * Filed herewith. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; II-7

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price present no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, 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 the time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         Re:     Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-3:
                 Techniclone Corporation Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
                 ---------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are rendering this opinion in connection with Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Amended Registration
Statement"), filed by Techniclone Corporation (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
on June 11, 1999. The Amended Registration Statement relates to the resale of up
to 767,644 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company by Dunwoody
Brokerage Services, Inc. (the "Shares").

     In our capacity as your counsel in connection with this transaction, we
have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings
proposed to be taken by you in connection with the authorization and issuance of
the securities in the manner set forth in the Amended Registration Statement. We
have examined such documents as we consider necessary to render this opinion. In
such examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us
as copies and the genuineness of all signatures. We have also assumed the legal
capacity of all natural persons and that, with respect to all parties to
agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company, such parties
had the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such
agreements or instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly
authorized by all requisite action and have been executed and delivered by such
parties and that such agreements or instruments are valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of such parties.

     Based upon the foregoing and the compliance with applicable state
securities laws by the Company and the additional proceedings to be taken by the
Company as referred to above, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized, and when issued by the Company upon receipt of payment therefor
(to the extent required), the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     Our opinions herein are limited to the effect on the subject transaction of
United States Federal law and the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. We assume no responsibility regarding the applicability to or the
effect on our opinion of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Amended Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm contained under
the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus which is a part of the Amended
Registration Statement.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,

                                                 /s/ Rutan & Tucker, LLP




                                                                    EXHIBIT 23.2



                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT

We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Pre-effective Amendment No.
2 to Registration Statement No. 333-73417 of Techniclone Corporation (the
Company) on Form S-3 of our report dated June 15, 1998, except for Note 12, as
to which the date is July 17, 1998 (which expresses an unqualified opinion and

Company's ability to continue as a going concern), appearing in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K of Techniclone Corporation for the year ended April 30, 1998
and to the reference to us under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus, which
