We performed IFAs on parasites grown in the absence or presence of ATc for three days from parental and cKD-ABCB7L-HA lines, as well as cKD-VDAC-HA, a conditional knockdown line of the mitochondrial transporter VDAC, which has a severe defect in mitochondrial morphology (44) and thus used as a positive control. This evidence concerns the gene VDAC1 and chronic kidney disease.
