Popis: Engrailed 2 (EN2) is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines and is secreted into the urines. It is nowadays considered as a promising non-invasive biomarker for PCa early diagnosis. Herein, we report the design of an electrochemical immunosensor for EN2 detection. The biosensor fabrication involved a covalent immobilization of anti-EN2 antibodies onto a poly para amino benzoic acid (PABA) film electropolymerized on a gold electrode. Square wave voltammetry was investigated for EN2 detection in a phosphate buffer solution in a concentration range of 10
