Our antibodies highlighted different conformations of native APOL1 topology in serum (HDL particles) and at the podocyte surface. Our findings support the surface ion channel model for APOL1 risk variant-mediated podocyte injury, as well as providing domain accessibility information for designing APOL1-targeted therapeutics.
