A simple virus-cell complementary model system can be obtained using polymer-analogous reactions of the epoxy groups of glycidyl methacrylate-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monolithic macroporous polymeric support and of the carboxy groups of styrene-methyl methacrylate polymeric nanospheres. The effect of thus designed microenvironment on the affinity binding parameters of virus-mimicking nanoparticles with the functionalized sorbent surface is studied by high-performance monolithic disk affinity chromatography.
