In the hole-doped $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave cuprate superconductor, due to the midgap surface state (MSS), a zero bias conductance peak (ZBCP) is widely observed in [110] interface point contact spectroscopy (PCS). However, ZBCP of this geometry is rarely observed in the electron-doped cuprates, even though their pairing symmetry is still likely the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave. We argue that this is due to the coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AF) and the superconducting (SC) orders. Generalizing the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formula to include an AF coupling, it is shown explicitly that the MSS is destroyed by the AF order. The calculated PCS is in good agreement with the experiments.
