title: Protein tyrosine phosphatases as negative regulators of the immune response.
abstract: In this mini-review, we provide an overview of those PTPs (protein tyrosine phosphatases) that are relevant to the immune response, highlighting the function of a number of intracellular and transmembrane PTPs that have been identified as having important negative regulatory roles on distinct aspects of host immunity.
