Hi. I understand the Your "changing the cells" means "sub-culturing".
If so, as already suggested, You would have to count the cells on a daily basis when they are proliferating in vitro, and see when the cells reach the so-called "plateu". Then, in Your next experiments, You have sub-culture Your cells before they reach the plateu phase.
Thank you for your opinion. However, I don't mean changing the cells as sub-culturing. I meant what change the new cells thawed. By any chance, I want your suggestion about this.
I do not know if I have understood your question, but I'll try to give an answer.
Primary cells undergo senescence after 12-15 passages. After that passage all results could be altered. So the best thing should be to freeze several cell's aliquotes after passage 3/4 (almost 250000/400000 per ml).
Stable cell culture lines undergo senescence after about 20/25 passages.
