Prospectus Summary
Overview, page 1

1.     With reference to your disclosure on page 104, please revise your
Summary to provide
       context to all efficacy performance claims where your clinical studies
were not
       statistically powered for efficacy evaluations. For instance, it should
be clear, if true, that
       you do not have statistically significant trial results to support your
claims concerning
       "full inhibition of C1q and the classical complement pathway" for ANX005
and
       ANX007. Also, it should be clear that the "positive numerical trends
across key GBS
       outcome measures" for ANX005 do not equate to statistically significant
trial results.

2.       Where you state that you "hold worldwide development and
commercialization rights" to
         your product candidates, please revise your disclosure to specify, if
true, that you
         exclusively license some of these rights.

3.       Please revise the penultimate paragraph on page 3 to indicate whether
the ANX005 and
         IVIg combination trial is a Phase 1 or Phase 2 clinical trial. With
reference to the risk
         factor disclosure on page 23, revise the page 3 disclosure to discuss
briefly the purpose
         and limitations of the planned combination trial. With a view to
disclosure, please also
         tell us why you are conducting a Phase 2 monotherapy trial given your
disclosure on page
         18 that you intend to pursue a Phase 3 trial utilizing a combination
of ANX005 and IVIg.
         Also revise the Product Candidate, Phase, Status columns in the
Pipeline table, as
         appropriate.

4.       We note your disclosure in the footnote of the pipeline table that you
intend to initiate
         Phase 2 clinical trials in the follow-on disease indications for
ANX005 following
         clearance of the applicable investigational new drug applications
(INDs). Please disclose
         whether you have filed INDs for each of the indications you plan to
pursue.

Securities Act, whether or
         not they retain copies of the communications.

reasons why IVIg is
         not approved to treat GBS in the United States.

7.       Once you have an estimated offering price or range, please explain to
us how you
         determined the fair value of the common stock underlying your equity
issuances and the
         reasons for any differences between the recent valuations of your
common stock leading
         up to the IPO and the estimated offering price. This information will
help facilitate our
         review of your accounting for equity issuances including stock
