| Sprague-Dawley rats are outbred instead of inbred so these are allogeneic grafts and not syngeneic (225 g females). | ||||||||
| Results | ||||||||
| Few GFP-positive MSCs were seen at either location at 7 days and almost none at 14 days after transplanting. MSCs elicited an inflammatory response. Activated macrophages and microglia were seen in the grafts. | ||||||||

| Results | ||||||||
| Stromal cells are lost over 3-4 weeks. Activation of microglia cells (CD11b). Muscle grafts were rejected by T cells, but not cerebral grafts. | ||||||||

| Results | ||||||||
| Fewer GFP-positive cells in allogeneic grafts as compared to syngeneic. More activated microglia in allografts than syngeneic one. Neurogenesis is inhibited in allografts. This effect is reversed with NSAIDs. | ||||||||

| Results | ||||||||
| Allografts were rejected quickly (5–7 days) by cytotoxic T cells. Little activated microglia were detected. Syngeneic grafts increase in size. | ||||||||
