Using sterile water (which has no preservative) is an option only if you plan to use the entire vial in a single session, which is rarely practical
Despite the fact that peptide ligands are relatively flexible and have a lower binding affinity to receptors compared with antibodies, the use of peptides in theranostic nanomedicine offers advantages because they are smaller, have reduced immunogenicity, have high multivalency, penetrate deep into tumors, are simpler to synthesize, and are cost-effective in production
