A method of inhibiting the proliferation of B cells by using inhibitors of phosphotyrosine phosphatase can be used to regulate the immune response and to treat diseases such as leukemias or lymphomas marked by malignant proliferation of B cells. The use of such inhibitors can be combined with radiation, which produces a synergistic effect. Several types of inhibitors can be used, including: (1) compounds comprising a metal coordinate-covalently bound to an organic moiety that can form a five- or six-membered ring; (2) compounds in which vanadium (IV) is coordinate-covalently bound to an organic moiety such as a hydroxamate, alpha -hydroxypyridinone, alpha -hydroxypyrone, alpha -amino acid, hydroxycarbonyl, or thiohydroxamate; (3) coordinate-covalent complexes of vanadyl and cysteine or a derivative thereof; (4) nonhydrolyzable phosphotyrosine phosphatase analogues; (5) phostatin; and (6) 4-(fluoromethyl)phenyl phosphate and esterified derivatives. For the metal-containing coordinate covalent compounds, the metal is preferably vanadium (IV).
