NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE COMMON STOCK WHICH MAY BE ACQUIRED UPON THE
EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND
MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY
RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                                                          For the Purchase
                                                          of 44,810 shares of
No. 1                                                     Common Stock

                           WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF
                             SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
                                       OF
                             SENTIGEN HOLDING CORP.
                            (A Delaware Corporation)

   SENTIGEN HOLDING CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby
certifies that THEODORE M. SERURE, or his, her or its registered assigns (the
"Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time until November 21,
2005 ("Expiration Date"), Forty-Four Thousand Eight Hundred and Ten (44,810)
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company ("Common Stock"), at a
purchase price equal to $6.00 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share,
each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant,
are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Stock" and the "Purchase Price,"
respectively.

   This Warrant is issued to Registered Holder in consideration of Registered
Holder's introduction to the Company of investors in a private offering of the
Company's Common Stock consummated on November 21, 2000 ("Private Placement").

   1.      Exercise.

           (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole
or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto
as Exhibit I duly executed by such Registered Holder, at the principal office of
the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate,
accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the
Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of full shares of Warrant Stock
purchased upon such exercise.

           (b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection
1(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificates for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided

<PAGE>

in subsection 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of
record of the Warrant Stock represented by such certificates.

           (c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full
or in part, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its
expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered
Holder, or, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

                  (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled upon
such exercise, and

                  (ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or
warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (without
giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for
on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the
Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(a) above.

   2.      Adjustments.

           (a) If the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock shall be
subdivided or split into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common
Stock shall be paid or split, in respect of Common Stock, the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such
dividend, shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or
split, or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately
reduced. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or
reverse-split into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination or reverse split shall, simultaneously
with the effectiveness of such combination or reverse split, be proportionately
increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the
number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment.

           (b) If there shall occur any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the Company's Common Stock (other than a change in par value
or a subdivision or combination as provided for in subsection 2(a) above), or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or
the payment of a liquidating distribution then, as part of any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation merger or liquidating
distribution, lawful provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder of
this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise hereof
(to the extent, if any, still exercisable) the kind and amount of shares of
stock or other securities or property which such Registered Holder would have
been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or liquidating distribution, as the case
may be, such Registered Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
which were then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein
with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder of
this Warrant such that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including
provisions with respect to the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or
other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

                                        2

<PAGE>

           (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2(b) above, in the
event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, as a result of which the holders of the Company's outstanding
voting securities prior to the consolidation or merger own less than 50% of the
voting securities of the Company or surviving corporation after the
consolidation or merger, at any time during the period during which this Warrant
may be exercised (a "Merger"), the Company shall provide to the Registered
Holder fifteen (15) days advance written notice of the record date for such
Merger in accordance with Section 5 hereof. If, in connection with such Merger,
one share of the Company's Common Stock would be exchanged for securities or
other consideration valued at more than the Purchase Price, then this Warrant
shall terminate at the closing of the Merger. Any exercise by the Registered
Holder prior to the closing of the Merger may be conditioned upon such closing
occurring.

           (d) Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the
exercise price hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give written notice
thereto to the registered holder of this Warrant stating the adjusted exercise
price and the adjusted number of shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof
resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

   3.      Conversion Right.

           (a) Determination of Amount. In lieu of the payment of the Purchase
Price in cash, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into Common Stock ("Conversion
Right"), as follows: upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise
Price) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the "Value" (as defined below) of the portion of the Warrant being
converted at the time the Conversion Right is exercised by (y) the Market Price.
The "Value" of the portion of the Warrant being converted shall equal the
remainder derived from subtracting (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock being converted from (ii) the Market Price of
the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being
converted. As used herein, the term "Market Price" at any date shall be deemed
to be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such date, or, in case
no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported
sale prices for the immediately preceding three trading days, in either case as
officially reported by the principal securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or if any such exchange
on which the Common Stock is listed is not its principal trading market, the
last reported sale price as furnished by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") through the Nasdaq National Market or SmallCap Market,
or, if applicable, the OTC Bulletin Board, or if the Common Stock is not listed
or admitted to trading on any of the foregoing markets, or similar organization,
as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company, based on the best information available to it.

           (b) Exercise of Conversion Right. The Conversion Right may be
exercised by the Holder on any business day on or after the Warrant is
exercisable and not later than the Expiration Date by delivering the Warrant
with a duly executed exercise form attached hereto with the conversion section
completed to the Company, exercising the Conversion Right and specifying the
total number of shares of Common Stock the Holder will purchase pursuant to such
conversion.

   4.      Registration Rights.

           (a) Grant of Right. The resale of the Common stock underlying this
Warrant will be included in the Registration Statement filed on behalf of the
investors in the Company's Private Placement. The Company shall use its best
efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and be kept current and effective until all the
Common Stock registered thereunder are sold or can be sold freely under an
appropriate exemption, without limitation.

           (b) Fees and Expenses. In any registration statement in which Common
Stock are included pursuant to this Section, the Company shall bear all expenses
and pay all fees incurred in connection therewith, excluding underwriting
discounts and commissions payable with respect to the Common Stock and the fees
and expenses of any professionals engaged by the Registered Holder, but
including the expenses of providing a reasonable number of copies of the
prospectus contained therein to the Registered Holder.

           (c) Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify the
holder of the Common Stock to be sold pursuant to any registration statement
hereunder, the officers and directors of each holder and each person, if any,
who controls such holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), or
any state securities law or regulation, against all loss, claim, damage, expense
or liability (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim
whatsoever incurred by the indemnified party in any action or proceeding between
the indemnitor and indemnified party or between the indemnified party and any
third party or otherwise) to which any of them may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute or at common law or
otherwise under the laws of foreign countries, arising from such registration
statement or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in (i) any preliminary prospectus, the registration
statement or prospectus (as from time to time each may be amended and
supplemented); (ii) any post-effective amendment or amendments or any new
registration statement and prospectus in which is included the Common Stock; or
(iii) any application or other document or written communication (collectively
called "application") executed by the Company or based upon written information
furnished by the Company in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common
Stock under the securities laws thereof or filed with the SEC, any state
securities commission or agency, Nasdaq or any securities exchange; or the
omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, unless such statement
or omission is made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
information furnished to the Company by and with respect to such registered
holders ("Purchaser Information") expressly for use in any preliminary
prospectus, the registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereof, or in any application, as the case may be, or unless the
indemnities failed to deliver a final prospectus in which the material
misstatement or omission was corrected. The Company agrees promptly to notify
such Registered Holder of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings
against the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons in
connection with the issue and sale or resale of the Common Stock or in
connection with the registration statement or prospectus.

           (d) Successors and Assigns. The registration rights granted to the
Registered Holder inure to the benefit of all the Registered Holders'
successors, heirs, pledges, assignees, transferees and purchasers of the Common
Stock.

   5. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of
this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall round up the number of
shares to the next whole share calculated on a cumulative basis after taking
into account all prior exercises and the number of shares issued thereby.

   6. Limitation on Sales. Each holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this
Warrant and the Warrant Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act,
as now in force or hereafter amended, or any successor legislation, and agrees

this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution payable
solely in capital stock of the Company or out of funds legally available
therefor), or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or

           (b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any

as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on
which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other
stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant)
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock
or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to mail any
such notice at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date
for the event specified in such notice, provided that the failure to mail such
notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.

   8. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant,
such shares of Warrant Stock and other stock, securities and property, as from
time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

   9. Replacement of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and

party shall have the right (a) to propose modifications to the publication or
prohibit for patent reasons, trade secret reasons or business reasons or (b) to
request a reasonable delay in publication or presentation in order to protect
patentable information. If the reviewing party requests a delay, the publishing
party shall delay submission or presentation for a period of [*] to enable
patent applications protecting each party's rights in such information to be
filed. If the reviewing party requests modifications to the publication, the
publishing party shall edit such publication to prevent disclosure or trade
secret or proprietary business information prior to submission of the
publication or presentation. If the reviewing party prohibits publication, the
publishing party shall not publish the publication during the term of this
Agreement, and thereafter, may only publish after the reviewing party has

                   INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

   13.1 Indemnification by Schering. Schering shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless RIBI and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective
employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a "RIBI Indemnified Party")
from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), subject to the limitations in Section
13.5 (collectively, a "Liability") which the RIBI Indemnified Party may incur,
suffer or be required to pay resulting from or arising in connection with [*].

   13.2 Indemnification by RIBI. RIBI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Schering and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees,
officers, directors and agents (each, a "Schering Indemnified Party") from and
against any Liability which the Schering Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or
be required to pay resulting from or arising in connection with [*].

   13.3 Conditions to Indemnification. The obligations of the indemnifying party
under Sections 13.1 and 13.2 are conditioned upon the delivery of written notice
to the indemnifying party of any potential Liability promptly after the
indemnified party becomes aware of such potential Liability. The indemnifying
party shall have the obligation to assume the defense of any suit or claim
related to the Liability for which it is obligated to indemnify hereunder;
however, if in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified Party, such suit or
claim involves an issue or matter which could have a materially adverse effect
on the business operations or assets of the indemnified party, the indemnified
party may waive its rights to defense under this Agreement and control the
defense or settlement thereof, but in no event shall any such waiver be
construed as a waiver of any indemnification rights such party may have under
this Agreement, at law or in equity. If the indemnifying party defends the suit
or claim, the indemnified party may participate in (but not control) the defense
thereof at its sole cost and expense.

   13.4 Settlements. Neither party may settle a claim or action related to a
Liability without the consent of the other party, if such settlement would [*].
Any payment made by a party to settle any such claim or action shall [*].

   13.5 Limitation of Liability. With respect to any claim by one party against
the other arising out of the performance or failure of performance of the other
party under this Agreement, the parties expressly agree that the liability of
such party to the other party for such breach shall be limited under this
Agreement or otherwise at law or equity to direct damages only and in no event
shall a party be liable for, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

   13.6 Insurance. Each party acknowledges that they each maintain and shall,
during the term of this Agreement, maintain adequate insurance (a minimum of [*]
per claim liability insurance including products coverage, with respect to RIBI)
and/or a self-insurance program (with respect to Schering) for liability
insurance, including products liability and contractual liability insurance,
adequately covering such party's obligations under this Agreement. Each party
shall provide the other with evidence of such insurance, upon request.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                              TERM AND TERMINATION

   14.1 Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall be effective as of the
Effective Date and unless terminated earlier pursuant to Sections 5.1, 14.2 or
14.3 below, the term of this Agreement shall continue in effect until the later
of (i) expiration of the last to expire Patent Right or (ii) ten (10) years from
First Commercial Sale of Product.

   14.2 Termination by Schering. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, Schering shall have the right to unilaterally terminate this
Agreement, with or without cause, at any time by giving [*] advance written
notice to RIBI. In the event of such termination, the rights and obligations
hereunder of both parties, including any payment obligations not due and owing
as of the termination date, shall terminate and all distribution rights shall
revert to RIBI.

   14.3 Termination.

       14.3.1 Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by notice
by either party at any time during the term of this Agreement:

           (a) if the other party is in breach of its material obligations
hereunder and has not cured or taken substantial steps to cure such breach
within [*] after the non-breaching party delivers to the breaching party notice
of the breach with reasonable detail of the particulars of the alleged breach;
or

           (b) upon the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment of a substantial
portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other party, or in the
event a receiver or custodian is appointed for such party's business or a
substantial portion of such party's business is subject to attachment or similar
process; provided, however, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding
such right to terminate shall only become effective if the party consents to the
involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within [*] after the
filing thereof.

   14.4 Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of the Agreement shall
not relieve the parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or
termination, and the provisions of Article XI and XIII shall survive the
expiration of the Agreement and shall continue in effect for [*] or the
applicable statute of limitations, whichever is longer, but only with respect to
events that occurred while this Agreement was in force and effect. Any
expiration or early termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to
the rights of either party against the other accrued or accruing under this
Agreement prior to termination, including the obligation to pay the supply price
for Product(s) ordered prior to such termination.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                                   TRADEMARKS

   15.1 Trademark. The trademark, Melacine(R) melanoma theraccine, is a
registered trademark in the Territory. RIBI agrees for the term of this
Agreement to maintain the registration of Trademark in the Territory. Schering
shall have the right to use such trademark in connection with the exclusive
distribution, advertising, marketing and promotion of the Product. Schering
shall include on all labels for Product distributed by it under this Agreement
an indication of the ownership of Trademark by RIBI by means of the following
legend, or by the means of such other appropriate legend or designation as may
be prescribed by RIBI: "Distributed by Schering Corporation under a trademark
owned by RIBI ImmunoChem Research, Inc."

   15.2 Infringement. Both parties shall promptly notify the other party in
writing of all cases of potential infringement or infringement of Trademark in
the Territory, including with said notice evidence to support an allegation of
infringement by such third party. In the event Schering utilizes Trademark in
connection with the marketing, distribution and/or sale of Product, RIBI shall
take reasonable steps to prosecute the infringement of the Trademark or to
defend the right to use the Trademark, as the case may be, in the Territory.
RIBI shall keep Schering advised of the status of such litigation and shall
consult with RIBI with respect to all major decisions impacting the litigation
relating to the Trademark.

   15.3 Limit on RIBI Use and Grant of Trademarks. RIBI shall not use or grant
to any third party the right to use any trademark in the Territory which is, in
the reasonable opinion of Schering, [*].

                                   ARTICLE XVI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

   16.1 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any or all of the rights and
obligations of a party hereunder may or shall be assigned, delegated, sold,
transferred, sublicensed (except as otherwise provided herein) or otherwise
disposed of, except by operation of law, to any third party other than an
Affiliate of such party, without the prior written consent of the other party,
except when such disposition, etc., is in connection with the purchase or
acquisition by a third party of all or substantially all of the assets of a
party hereto, and any attempted assignment, delegation, sale, transfer,
sublicense or other disposition of this Agreement or of any rights or
obligations hereunder contrary to this Section 16.1 shall be a material breach
of this Agreement by the attempting party, and shall be void and without force
or effect; provided; however, Schering may, without such consent, assign the
Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or in
connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets
related to the division or the subject business, or in the event of its merger
or consolidation or change in control or similar transaction. This Agreement
shall be

binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each party, its Affiliates, and its
permitted successors and assigns. Each party shall be responsible for the
compliance by its Affiliates with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

   16.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Except for disputes under Article X
which will be governed by Federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard
to the conflict of laws provisions thereof and the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of any action with respect to this Agreement shall be in a state court of
the State of New Jersey. Each of the parties hereto agrees to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court for the purpose of any such
action. Service of process in any such action may be effected in the manner
provided in Section 16.6 for delivery of notice or in any other manner
consistent with New Jersey law. In the event that a state court holds that an
action cannot be brought and maintained in a state court, then such action may
be brought in any court having proper jurisdiction.

   16.3 Waiver. Any delay or failure in enforcing a party's rights under this
Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not
constitute a waiver of such party's rights to the future enforcement of its
rights under this Agreement, nor operate to bar the exercise or enforcement
thereof at any time or times thereafter, excepting only as to an express written
and signed waiver as to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

   16.4 Independent Relationship. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between
the parties hereto or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal
arrangement that would impose liability upon one party for the act or failure to
act of the other party. Neither party shall have any power to enter into any
contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on
behalf of, the other party, or to bind the other party in any respect
whatsoever.

   16.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and
Schedules hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all
the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and
understandings between the parties hereto and supersedes and terminates all
prior agreements, writings and understandings between the parties. There are no
covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or
understandings, either oral or written, between the parties other than as are
set forth herein and therein. No terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be
varied or modified and no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition
