Answer
The lentivirus should be aliquoted into smaller working volumes and then stored at -80°C. Lentivirus is sensitive to storage temperature and to freeze/thaws. It can lose up to 5% or more activity with each freeze/thaw. When stored properly, viral stocks of an appropriate titer should be suitable for use for up to one year. After long-term storage, we recommend re-titering your viral stocks before use.
