The hybrid material was synthesized by covalent binding of oxidized CMC to GO layers followed by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride. A sandwich-type immunoassay was employed involving the commercial metal-complexes based polymer Mix & Go™ for the stable and oriented immobilization of anti-APN capture antibody. Biotinylated-anti-APN and HRP-Strept were used for the assay configuration. The APN quantification was performed by amperometry at −200 mV using the hydrogen peroxide/hydroquinone enzyme substrate/mediator system. A sigmoidal calibration plot for APN in the 0.1–50 μg/mL range, with a linear portion in the 0.5–10.0 μg/mL APN concentration range was obtained. The calculated limit of detection (3sb/m) was 61 ng/mL APN. The usefulness of the immunosensor was evaluated by analyzing human serum from hypercholesterolemia or diabetes patients %~
