There were the alternatives either that the cultures of meningococci used to produce the serum had in the course of years lost their virulence and other properties, so that when inoculated into animals they set up no adequate reaction, and no adequate discharge of protective substances into the blood, so that the blood serum gained from the inoculated animals was no longer capable of destroying the meningococci when injected into the patient suffering from the disease; or, on the other hand, it might be that in the Army cases we dealt with another order or strain of meningococcus, which was not influenced by the serum produced by inoculating animals with the original New York or other meningococci of previous epidemics.    From Wordnik.com.  [War Story of the Canadian Army Medical Corps] Reference
