type II where antibody binds to surface, membrane or some receptor and ativates complement
type III where free antigen-antibody complexes are accumulated and then fix complement !

You might be right, I don't know why I have it written in my notes as type III, but it is an antibody cross reacting to the cardiac antigens, so it must be type II not III. Thanks for the correction !
