Mice C57Bl/6 were intranasally infected with influenza A/H5N1 A/goose/Krasnoozerskoye/627/05 virus. The expression of influenza A virus antigen in the lung interstitium fibroblasts was recorded during all periods of the study (on days 1-14 after infection), the maximum expression on days 1 and 3. On day 1, the volume density of collagen fibers in the lungs was 3-fold higher than in intact animals; by day 14 it increased almost 15-fold. The numerical density of PCNA+ fibroblasts increased almost 2-fold from day 1 to day 10; “fibroplastic activity” of fibroblasts increased more than 3-fold.
