Dawley
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.

Balb/c
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.
