Our lab has the view that PBMCs start to deteriorate after around one month of storage in -80 C, therefore you need liquid nitrogen or similar for proper long-term storage of your cells.
However, my personal experience is that the cells stay viable longer, I have succesfully thawed at least 2-3 month old cells (frozen in RPMI + 20% AB serum & 10% DMSO), and my colleague claims that he has stored PBMCs in -80 C for more than six months without problems.
But if you want to play it safe, then I'm afraid you need colder conditions than -80 C.
