If I used 3-4 freeze thaw cycles to retrieve my AAV particles from 293T cells. Does this mean that my virus has already been exposed to repeated freezing and thawing, and that I can no longer freeze and thaw it? Thanks.
The AAV vectors are not purified yet. Instead, they are associated with cells and I would not count this as a freeze-thaw event. I will start counting once the vector are purified and titer.
