In this paper we have described the distribution and localization of cells that express alfa-SMA, desmin, and vimentin in the liver of dogs with various degrees of fibrosis, as well as the significance of HSC and portal myofibroblasts in the genesis of fibrosis. The results obtained suggest that portal myofibroblasts have a significant role in the process of liver fibrosis in dogs.
