Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 Originally filed on April 11, 2025 File No. 001-36268 (the " Form 10-K ") Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company"), we hereby transmit the Company's response to the comment letter received from the staff (the "Staff") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), dated August 5, 2025, regarding the Form 10-K. For the Staff's convenience, we have repeated below the Staff's comment in bold, and have followed the comment with the Company's response. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 Part I Item 1. Business Drug Development, page 6 1. In future filings, please ensure that your pipeline table accurately reflects the current stages of your trials. For example, you state on page 7 that you still need to "[e]xecute on IND-enabling studies of Supera-CBD to enable submission of an IND for a Phase 1 clinical trial." Please shorten the arrows for Supera-CBD given preclinical trials appear to be ongoing and not completed. In addition, you state on page 29 that you plan "to launch a Phase 2b clinical trial of isomyosamine's efficacy in sarcopenia early in the first quarter of 2025." Please shorten the arrow for MYMD1 for sarcopenia given it appears that Phase 2 trials are not complete and still ongoing. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and confirms that in future filings the Company will (i) ensure that the Company's pipeline table accurately reflects the current stages of its trials, (ii) shorten the arrows for Supera-CBD, and (iii) shorten the arrow for MYMD1 for sarcopenia. Isomyosamine Overview, page 7 2. In future filings, please revise your disclosures on page 7 to remove the statements that Isomyosamine showed "safety" in a Phase 2 clinical trial in sarcopenia as safety determinations are within the sole authority of the FDA and similar foreign regulators. We advise you that you may present the objective data from pre-clinical and clinical trials without drawing a conclusion from the results. For example, if true, you may note that a candidate was well tolerated, the absence of serious adverse events or the number of trial participants who met the identified trial endpoints. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and confirms that in future filings the Company will revise its disclosures to remove the statements that Isomyosamine showed "safety" in a Phase 2 clinical trial in sarcopenia and will otherwise present the objective data from pre-clinical and clinical trials without drawing a conclusion from the results. 3. We note your disclosure you "completed a 28-day Phase 2 trial for sarcopenia." However, your business section does not appear to describe the design of the trial and objective results. In future filings, please describe the completed Phase 2 trial in greater detail. Your discussion should identify the number of participants, trial endpoints, the objective results, the p-values and statistical significance of the results. In addition, to the extent that any participants experienced any serious adverse events, please describe them and quantify the number of each type of event. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and confirms that in future filings the Company will describe the completed Phase 2 trial in greater detail, including, but not limited to identifying the number of participants, trial endpoints, the objective results, the p-values and statistical significance of the results, and to the extent that any participants experienced any serious adverse events, a description and the quantity of each type of event. Assignment and Royalty Agreements, page 16 4. In future filings, please revise to disclose the term and terminations provisions of the Amended and Restated Confirmatory Patent Assignment and Royalty Agreements with SRQ Patent Holdings and SRQ Patent Holdings II. In addition, please disclose the specific product candidate(s) to which the agreements relate. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and confirms that in future filings the Company will disclose the term and terminations provisions of the Amended and Restated Confirmatory Patent Assignment and Royalty Agreements with SRQ Patent Holdings and SRQ Patent Holdings II and the specific product candidate(s) to which the agreements relate. Intellectual Property, page 16 5. In future filings, please revise your intellectual property disclosure to clearly identify: (i) each of your material patents (rather than stating that you have a certain number of patents), (ii) the material product candidate(s) dependent on each material patent, (iii) whether the patent is owned or licensed, (iv) the type of patent protection (e.g., composition of matter, use, or process) and (v) the expiration dates for each patent discussed. In this regard it may be useful to provide tabular disclosure. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and confirms that in future filings the Company will revise the Company's intellectual property disclosure to clearly identify: (i) each of the Company's material patents, (ii) the material product candidate(s) dependent on each material patent, (iii) whether the patent is owned or licensed, (iv) the type of patent protection and (v) the expiration dates for each patent discussed.

This

Letter”) of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
raised in your letter dated July 22, 2020 with respect to the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the Commission
on July 13, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”) pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In connection
with this response to the Comment Letter, the Company is contemporaneously filing via EDGAR an amendment to the Proxy Statement
(“Amendment No. 1”), responding to the Staff’s comments in the Comment Letter and updating the Proxy Statement.
For convenience of reference, we have set forth the Staff’s comment below, followed by the Company’s response.

We
note your response, in particular in paragraph three where you explain that “[t]he purpose of the Acquisition was for
the Company to obtain certain license rights of Cystron under the License Agreement with Premas. Based on discussions among
transaction parties, the Company determined that, in lieu of Cystron assigning its rights under the License Agreement to the
Company, it would be more efficient for the Company to acquire Cystron since Cystron had no assets other than its rights under
the License Agreement. More specifically, Cystron was formed on March 10, 2020 for the sole purpose of entering into the License
Agreement on such date. Subsequently, Cystron had no paid employees, financial results or business operations other than activities
related to the Acquisition with the Company. As such, Cystron merely served as a holding company for rights under the License
Agreement, and the Company’s acquisition of Cystron was merely a legal construct to facilitate the acquisition of the
license rights by the Company.” We note in Proposal 1, in the section entitled “License Agreement” that Cystron
holds a license with “Premas,” which you do not identify by its full name anywhere in Proposals 1 or 2. In the shareholder
table, you identify Premas Biotech LTV, Inc. It is unclear from the Premas website if Premas Biotech LTV, Inc. is the full
name of that company, or if it is another related company. We note from the Premas Biotech website that “through a partnership
with Akers Biosciences, Premas is leveraging DCrypt to develop a multicomponent recombinant protein vaccine against COVID-19.”
Revise the disclosure in the background section of Proposal 1 to provide the above information from your response, including
clarifying that Cystron was created specifically to hold the Premas license for your purchase, to clarify to the nature of
the transaction you state you have completed.
Response:
The
Company hereby identifies the full name of “Premas Biotech PVT Ltd.” and respectfully advises the Staff that the Company
has made the requested clarifying revision under the “Background” section on page 7 of Amendment No. 1.
The
Company hereby confirms that the Company in-licensed a novel coronavirus vaccine candidate under development by Premas using
Premas’ genetically engineered S. cerevisiae platform, D-Crypt, and is now working with Premas to develop
this vaccine candidate and respectfully advises the Staff that the Company has added the request disclosure under the
“Background” section on page 7 of Amendment No. 1.
The
Company hereby acknowledges the Staff’s comment to clarify the nature of the transactions and respectfully advises the Staff

No. 001-36268
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
This
letter is submitted on behalf of Akers Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) to respond to the comment of the staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) raised in your letter dated July
20, 2020 with respect to the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the Commission on July 13, 2020 (the “Proxy
Statement”) pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For convenience of reference, we have set
forth the Staff’s comment below, followed by the Company’s response.
Capitalized
terms used in this letter without definition have the same meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement unless otherwise indicated.
Preliminary
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed June 13, 2020
Proposal
1, page 7
1.
We
note that in Proposals 1 and 2, pursuant to Nasdaq listing requirements, you seek approval from shareholders for: (1) the
issuance of common stock in excess of 20% of your outstanding common stock upon conversion of Series D convertible preferred
stock; and (2) the possible future issuance of common stock in excess of 20% of your outstanding common stock in connection
with future potential milestone payments; both of which are pursuant to your acquisition of Cystron Biotech, Inc., as set
forth in the membership interests purchase agreement, as amended. We note the stock will be issued to members of Cystron Biotech,
LLC, and to the extent shareholders do not approve each proposal, you are required to continue seeking shareholder approval
every six months until shareholders do approve. Please revise your preliminary proxy statement to provide the disclosures
required by Items 11, 13 and 14 of Schedule 14A with respect to those matters, as applicable, pursuant to Note A of Schedule
14A. Alternatively, please provide us with analysis supporting why such disclosure is not required.
Response:
With
respect to Items 11, 13 and 14 and Note A of Schedule 14A, the Company believes that the instruction in Note A is inapplicable
to Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 because it does not involve a solicitation seeking stockholder approval of the authorization of additional
securities which are to be used to acquire another company.
Note
A to Schedule 14A acknowledges that certain proposals to be acted upon by stockholders may involve the matters described by, and
would therefore require the disclosure of information pursuant to, more than one item of Schedule 14A. Note A goes on to provide
an example of such circumstance “where a solicitation of security holders is for the purpose of approving the authorization
of additional securities which are to be used to acquire another specified company, and the registrant’s security holders
will not have a separate opportunity to vote upon the transaction, the solicitation to authorize the securities is also a solicitation
with respect to the acquisition” (emphasis added).
The
Company believes that the Acquisition was not an acquisition of another company as contemplated by Schedule 14A. The purpose
of the Acquisition was for the Company to obtain certain license rights of Cystron under the License Agreement with Premas. Based
on discussions among transaction parties, the Company determined that, in lieu of Cystron assigning its rights under the License
Agreement to the Company, it would be more efficient for the Company to acquire Cystron since Cystron had no assets other than
its rights under the License Agreement. More specifically, Cystron was formed on March 10, 2020 for the sole purpose of entering
into the License Agreement on such date. Subsequently, Cystron had no paid employees, financial results or business operations
other than activities related to the Acquisition with the Company. As such, Cystron merely served as a holding company for rights
under the License Agreement, and the Company’s acquisition of Cystron was merely a legal construct to facilitate the acquisition
of the license rights by the Company. Given these facts, the Company believes that the Acquisition was an acquisition of assets
and not an acquisition of another company. This position is consistent with Accounting Standards Update 805 Business Combinations,
which provides that if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable
asset, the asset is not considered a business. Because the license rights granted under the License Agreement were the only assets
of Cystron, the Company believes that the Acquisition was an asset acquisition and not an acquisition of another business. As
such, the Company’s solicitation is not for the purpose of approving the authorization of additional securities which are
to be used to acquire another specified company; and, therefore, the Company believes that Note A is inapplicable to Proposal
1 and Proposal 2, and such proposals do not warrant the disclosures required by Items 11, 13 and 14.
Furthermore,
Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 seek stockholder approval, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) of (i) the conversion of our
Series D Preferred Stock in excess of 20% of the Company’s common stock outstanding and (ii) the potential issuance of the
Company’s common stock in excess of 20% of the Company’s common stock outstanding in connection with milestone shares
that may become issuable in the future. While the Company, through the proposals, is asking its stockholders to approve the issuance
of additional securities, the additional securities to be issued will not be used for the purpose of acquiring Cystron. As disclosed
in the Proxy Statement, the Acquisition has already been fully consummated and the outcome of the vote on the proposals will have
no impact on the Acquisition or in any way facilitate or hinder the completed transaction.
Proposal
1 and Proposal 2 instead relate to the independent questions of whether (i) the Excess Shares may be issued upon the conversion
of the Company’s previously issued shares of Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rule 5635(a)
and (ii) the Milestone Shares may be issued upon the achievement of an Equity Triggering Milestone, respectively. The proposals
allow the Company’s stockholders to vote on what the capital structure of the Company will look like on a go-forward basis
after the Company’s Annual Meeting. The MIPA contemplates the potential failure to obtain stockholder approvals on the Excess
Shares and the Milestone Shares and requires the Company to seek stockholder approval of such shares every six months until the
approvals are obtained in the event stockholders do not approve each proposal. The Sellers were fully aware that the stockholder
approvals for the Excess Shares and the Milestone Shares may not be obtained, and if they are not obtained it will have no
impact on the validity of the Acquisition.
As
disclosed in the Proxy Statement, shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock were issued as part of the consideration
issued in connection with the Acquisition consummated on March 24, 2020. Under the Company’s organizational documents, New
Jersey law and Nasdaq listing rules, the Company and its board of directors had full authority, without stockholder approval,
to issue the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and to consummate the Acquisition. No stockholder vote is being sought via the
Proxy Statement with respect to the authorization of the series of preferred stock. Rather, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s
stockholders will be asked to vote on whether the Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of common stock in
excess of 20% of the Company’s common stock outstanding and in compliance with the Nasdaq listing rule 5635(a), such vote
being required only by the listing rules of the Nasdaq and not by New Jersey law or the Company’s organizational documents.
Also, the Milestone Shares are contingent on the achievement of an Equity Trigger Milestone and may and/or may not be issued in
the future. Whether the stockholders approve the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock or the issuance of the Milestone Shares
will not have any bearing on the Acquisition, which was consummated regardless of whether stockholder approvals were sought or
received. Moreover, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, the MIPA contemplates that, to the extent the Milestone Shares are not
approved by stockholders, the Company will be required to issue to the Sellers 750,000 shares of non-voting preferred stock. This
fact shows that the Acquisition fully considered the possibility of the failure to obtain the stockholder approvals on the issuance
of the Milestone Shares and was not meant to be hindered by such failure. Furthermore, as noted above, the Company has the authority
to issue preferred stock, absent stockholder approval. As such, if and when the Milestone Shares are issued, it will not be used
to acquire “another specific company” as cited in Note A. Therefore, the Company’s stockholders are essentially
being asked to decide whether they would prefer the Company to continue to have outstanding Series D Preferred Stock and/or to
potentially issue additional preferred stock in the future or whether they would prefer to replace the outstanding Series D Preferred
Stock into shares of common stock and/or to issue additional shares of common stock that the stockholders authorize.
The
Company respectfully notes that because the shares of common stock issuable upon approval Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are the same
class as the Company’s currently outstanding common stock, the information called for by Item 202 of the Regulation S-K
is not required other than as set forth in Item 11(b). We believe that the current disclosure in the Proxy Statement covers the
requirements of Item 11. The Company’s common stock has no preemptive rights.
In
addition, Instruction 1 to Item 13 of Schedule 14A states that any or all of the information required by Item 13(a) not
material for the exercise of prudent judgment in regard to the matter to be acted upon may be omitted. As disclosed above,
because Cystron is not a business and has no other assets, there is no meaningful information about Cystron, its operations
and financial results that could be presented to Company stockholders that would be material for the exercise of prudent
judgement in regard to Proposal 1 and Proposal 2. Furthermore, such financial statements or information about Cystron
would be irrelevant to the stockholders’ decision because the Acquisition has already consummated and the only
issue before the stockholders is whether to render the necessary approvals to comply with the Nasdaq listing rule
5635(a).
In
light of the foregoing, the Company respectfully submits that the information required by Items 13 and 14 of Schedule 14A is inapplicable
to the decisions to be made by the Company’s stockholders with respect to Proposal 1 and Proposal 2. Such information, if
included in the Proxy Statement, may in fact cause confusion regarding the nature of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 and mislead stockholders
into believing that by voting against such proposals they are voting against the consummation of the Acquisition.

Dear
Mr. Gharib:
By
letter dated May 4, 2017, the staff (the “Staff,” “you” or “your”) of
the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Akers Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company,”
“we,” “us” or “our”) with the Staff’s comment to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on April 19, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”). We are in receipt
of your letter and set forth below is the Company’s response to the Staff’s comment. For your convenience, the comment
is listed below, followed by the Company’s response.
General
1.
Your
May 18, 2016 Form 8-K filed pursuant to Item 5.03 indicates that the event occurred on May 11, 2016. As such, your Form 8-K
was not filed in a timely manner, and you are not eligible at this time to register the offering on Form S-3. Please see General
Instruction I.A.3(b) of Form S-3. Accordingly, please withdraw your registration statement on Form S-3 and, as applicable,
file a new registration statement on Form S-1.
RESPONSE:
The Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 18, 2016 (the “Form 8-K”) was
filed in a timely manner, though it appears on its face to have been filed late due to an incorrect date of report. The Form 8-K
discloses an amendment to the Company’s by-laws (the “Amendment”), changing the quorum requirement for
meetings of the Company’s stockholders. The date of the Form 8-K reflects the date the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Board”) authorized the Company’s in-house and outside counsel to begin drafting proposed language
for the Amendment, not the date the Amendment was adopted. Below is a summary of relevant events related to the Amendment and
the filing of the 8-K.
●
On
May 11, 2016 (the date the Form 8-K incorrectly lists as the date of report), the Board authorized the Company’s in-house
and outside counsel to commence the Amendment process by drafting proposed Amendment language.
●
On
or about May 14, 2016, our outside counsel provided us with proposed Amendment language which our in-house counsel reviewed,
revised, then circulated to the Board on May 14th and 15th.
●
Following
comment by the Board, our in-house counsel requested and received approval of the Amendment by the Board on May 16, 2016 (the
“Approval”).
Pursuant
to the foregoing, the adoption of the Amendment (the reportable event) occurred upon the Approval on May 16, 2016 and the Form
8-K, filed two business days later, was timely. Despite being timely, the Form 8K appears late because it incorrectly listed the
date the Board authorized the Company’s in-house and outside counsel to commence the Amendment process by drafting proposed
language (May 11, 2016).
Thank
you for your assistance in reviewing this filing.

Truly Yours,
