...Paul BERRY; Susan BURCHILL Tumours of the Ewing's sarcoma (ES) family and neuroblastoma (NBL) were examined by reverse transcriptase-PCR for expression of mRNA for endothelin (ET) receptors ET-A and ET-B, and the ligands ET-1, ET-2 and ET-3. The effect of ET-1, ET-3, an ET-1-neutralizing antibody...
