An antichain is here regarded as a hypergraph that satisfies the following property:
neither of every two different edges is a subset of the other one.
The paper is devoted to the enumeration of antichains given on an n-set
and having one or more of the following properties:
being labeled or unlabeled; being ordered or unordered; being a cover (or a proper cover);
and finally, being a $T_0$-, $T_1$- or $T_2$-hypergraph.
The problem of enumeration of these classes comprises, in fact, different modifications of Dedekind's problem.
Here a theorem is proved, with the help of which a greater part of these classes can be enumerated.
The use of the formula from the theorem is illustrated by enumeration of labeled antichains,
labeled $T_0$-antichains, ordered unlabeled antichains, and ordered unlabeled $T_0$-antichains.
Also a list of classes that can be enumerated in a similar way is given.
Finally, we perform some concrete counting, and give a table of digraphs that we used in the counting process.
