In addition to IgC the antibodies that can fix complement are?
Brdavis
IgG and IgM can fix complement by activating the C3 protein at the end of the complement cascade allowing ADCC (antibody dependent cell- mediated cytoxicity) to occur.
I have never heard of an IgC antibody.
In humans there are only 5 classes of antibodies: IgM, IgG, IgA. IgD & IgE.

Histoplasma complement fixation?
DefinitionHistoplasma complement fixation is a blood test that checks for signs of infection due to a fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum (H. capsulatum). Some people who breathe in particles of this fungus may get an infection called histoplasmosis.See also:Histoplasmosis - chronic pulmonaryHistoplasmosis - disseminatedHistoplasmosis - acute (primary) pulmonaryHistoplasmosis - skin lesionAlternative NamesHistoplasma antibody testHow the test is performedYou will need to give a blood sample.The complement fixation test checks the blood for antibodies to H. capsulatum. Antibodies defend the body against bacteria, viruses, fungus, or other foreign body (antigen). Certain cells tell the body to produce antibodies during an active infection. If the antibodies are present, they stick, or "fix" themselves, to the antigen. That is why the test is called "fixation."The test specifically looks for the antibodies in the clear liquid portion of the blood (serum). This general term for this method is called serology.How to prepare for the testThere is no special preparation for the test.How the test will feelYou may feel a prick or stinging sensation when the needle is inserted to draw your blood. Some people may have moderate pain. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.Why the test is performedHistoplasma complement fixation is one of the most commonly used methods to test for a fungal infection caused by H. capsulatum.Normal ValuesThe absence of antibodies (negative test) is normal.What abnormal results meanAbnormal results may indicate an active histoplasmosis infection.People who have been exposed to H. capsulatum in the past may also have antibodies to it, often at low levels. However, they may not have shown signs of illness.Note: In the initial stage of an illness, few antibodies may be detected. Antibody production increases during the course of an infection. For this reason, such tests are often repeated several weeks after the first test is done..What the risks areVeins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:Excessive bleedingFainting or feeling light-headedHematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)ReferencesKauffman CA.
