    My wild speculation:

    Viral snares/traps? Semi-permeable membrane + RNA; the virus gets in and binds to the RNA inside, then the viral package is “spent” on fake RNA that can’t replicate. There are hundreds of these vaults within the cell, as to create a bunch of “pits” that a virus could fall into, thus effectively slowing viral spread, even a little?
