    Abstract The availability of cells isolated from healthy and diseased tissues and organs represents a key element for personalized medicine approaches. Although biobanks can provide a wide collection of primary and immortalized cells for biomedical research, these do not cover all experimental needs, particularly those related to specific diseases or genotypes. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are key components of the immune inflammatory reaction and, thus, play a central role in the pathogenesis of a variety of disorders. Notably, ECs from different sites display different biochemical and functional properties, making the availability of specific EC types (i.e., macrovascular, microvascular, arterial, and venous) essential for designing reliable experiments. Here, simple procedures to obtain high-yield, virtually pure human macrovascular and microvascular endothelial cells from the pulmonary artery and lung parenchyma are illustrated in detail. This methodology can be easily reproduced at a relatively low cost by any laboratory to achieve independence from commercial sources and obtain EC phenotypes/genotypes that are not yet available.

    Abstract Primary B-cell immunodeficiency is the most frequent immune defect in infancy. Selective absence of serum and secretory immunoglobulin IgA is the most common, with rates ranging from 1/333 persons to 1/16 000, among different races. By contrast, it has been estimated that hypo/agammaglobulinemia occurs with a frequency of 1/50 000 persons. Patients with antibody deficiency are usually recognized because they have recurrent infections with encapsulated bacteria or a history of failure to respond adequately to antibiotic treatment. However, some individuals, mainly those affected by IgA deficiency (SIgAD) or transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy , may have few or no infections.

    Abstract RAC2 is a GTPase that is exclusively expressed in hematopoietic cells. Animal models have suggested important roles for RAC2 in the biology of different cell types, such as neutrophils and lymphocytes. Primary immunodeficiencies represent "experimentum naturae" and offer priceless insight on the function of the human immune system. Mutations in RAC2 have been identified in a small number of patients giving rise to different forms of primary immunodeficiencies ranging from granulocyte defects caused by dominant negative mutations to combined immunodeficiency due to dominant activating mutations. This review will focus on the clinical and immunologic phenotype of patients with germline mutations in RAC2.

    Abstract Introduction: Autoimmunity is a common feature in CVID patients. To date the mechanisms leading to the development of such complications are not fully elucidated.
    Materials and methods: Data from 122 CVID patients subdivided in three groups based on the absence of autoimmunity (n-AI) or the presence of hematologic autoimmune phenomena (Cy-AI) or non-hematologic autoimmune phenomena (n-Cy-AI) were evaluated.
    Results: We identified a total of 128 autoimmune manifestations in 55/122 patients (45.1%). 30/122 (24.6%) patients presented hematologic autoimmune phenomena while 29/122 (23.8%) presented gastrointestinal autoimmune involvement. Immune thrombocytopenia was the most common manifestation (27/122; 22.1%), followed by autoimmune hemolytic anemia (18/122; 14.8%) and autoimmune enteropathy (17/122; 13.9%). Cy-AI patients displayed higher CD4
    Conclusions: CVID patients developing autoimmune cytopenias display characteristic immune phenotypic features.
