coating membranes

Hi,

I am looking for an efficient way to coat cell surfaces with1-2 micron
beads. We have used in the past carboxilated-modified 0.2-1micron beads and
they do bind, but I need this binding to be extremely strong and efficient.
I was wondering whether anyone is aware of an antibody that recognizes
membrane proteins presented on embryonic cells, and if there is any
experience with attaching beads to these antibodies.

Thanks,

Gidi
