Learn English – What’s the correct word to replace ‘antiness’ or ‘againstness’ in the following context

word-request

"Antigen is a substance that causes 'antiness'."

another one

"They always in the side of 'antiness'."

I'm looking for a word (noun) that means 'state of being anti' (anti=against) for something, something like 'antiness' or 'againstness' (if something like that would exist… I mean, these two words don't really exist but they absolutely can give an hint for what I'm looking for.)


Editing: the word againstness exists in English. My mistake. (thanks to Malik)

Well, you said it!

Againstness is the word for that. I also see that it has been made popular recently (20th century!)

Here you go:

againstness - The state or condition of being against or in opposition to an established view, etc.

See the origin of the word!
