In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing the information you provide in response to these comments and your amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional comments. Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 Prospectus Summary, page 1 1. We note your revised disclosure in response to our prior comment 1. Please remove your statements here and elsewhere in the prospectus that you believe that SVX-24, if approved, has the potential to become the most broad-spectrum pneumococcal conjugate vaccine addressing the $7 billion global pneumococcal vaccine market. Please also revise your statements here and elsewhere in the prospectus that you believe that you are developing potentially "best-in-class" vaccines. This language implies that your product candidates will be effective and will be better than competing vaccines, neither of which is appropriate at this stage of development. Grant E.
