<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAbstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n One of the most promising approaches in the drug delivery field is the use of naturally occurring self-assembling protein nanoparticles, such as virus-like particles, bacterial microcompartments or vault ribonucleoprotein particles as drug delivery systems (DDSs).

Recombinant vaults are routinely produced in insect cells and purified through several ultracentrifugations, both tedious and time-consuming processes. As an alternative, this work proposes a new approach and protocols for the production of recombinant vaults in human cells by transient gene expression of a His-tagged version of the major vault protein (MVP-H6), the development of new affinity-based purification processes for such recombinant vaults, and the all-in-one biofabrication and encapsulation of a cargo recombinant protein within such vaults by their co-expression in human cells. Protocols proposed here allow the easy and straightforward biofabrication and purification of engineered vaults loaded with virtually any INT-tagged cargo protein, in very short times, paving the way to faster and easier engineering and production of better and more efficient DDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFernando Mart\u00edn7,1<\/sup>, Aida Carre\u00f1o8,1<\/sup>, Rosa Mendoza1,2<\/sup>, Pablo Caruana3<\/sup>, Francisco Rodriguez3<\/sup>, Marlon Bravo4,5<\/sup>, Antoni Benito4,5<\/sup>, Neus Ferrer-Miralles1,2,6<\/sup>, M Virtudes C\u00e9spedes9,3<\/sup> and Jos\u00e9 Luis Corchero9,1,2,6<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
