antinormal

Antagonistic to or causing deviations from that which is considered normal.

We obtained further information on the antitumor and antinormal antibodies remaining after absorption by testing both types of antiserum against mitochondria from normal lung and normal liver and after absorption with normal lung, normal liver, and sheep red-blood cells.

Thus, all red-cell eluates containing complement components, always revealed the presence of both antinormal and antinull activity.

In the opposite direction or position from what is normal or canonical.

The piling may, however, be either the normal piling of Prof. Reynolds, or the antinormal piling described by Prof. Everett, or a combination of the two.

In the machine having antinormal rotation the engine will be running in the opposite direction, taking the left-hand propeller for the tractor and the right-hand for the pusher.

Perpendicular to a tangent of a curve or tangent plane of a surface but pointing opposite to convention.

A normal that points opposite to convention. For example, in solid geometry it is conventional for normals to point outwards, so an antinormal in solid geometry refers to a normal pointing inwards.
