Killer, or Cytotoxic, T cells are responsible for killing cells that are infected, damaged or cancerous.
Helper T cells, also known as CD4+ T cells, play a crucial role in activating killer T cells and B cells. Helper T cells recognize antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells, which triggers them to release signals that stimulate the activation and proliferation of killer T cells and B cells to mount an immune response against the specific pathogen.
Killer t cells are activated by helper t cells. The Helper t cells are alerted by the macrophage that has engulfed the virus. It grows antigens to alert the helper t cells. The killer t cells are like white blood cells, there purpose is to fight pathogens.
Cytotoxic T-cells are just a specialized subset of T-cells that express CD8 (a co-stimulatory molecule). In general, there are two types of T-cells, helper T-cells that express CD4 and cytotoxic T-cells that express CD8. As the name implies, cytotoxic T-cells have the role of killing any infected cells.
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
Macrophages primarily attract helper T cells (CD4+ T cells) through the presentation of antigens on MHC class II molecules. This interaction is crucial for activating helper T cells, which then stimulate other immune responses. While macrophages can also influence the activity of Killer T cells (CD8+ T cells), their primary role in antigen presentation and cytokine production is more closely associated with the activation of helper T cells.

Killer T cells are a type of white blood cell that can recognize and destroy virus-infected cells, cancer cells, and other abnormal cells in the body. They play a crucial role in the immune system's response to infections and diseases. Killer T cells are able to identify specific antigens on target cells and induce their death.
In the immune response, helper T cells (specifically CD4+ T cells) play a crucial role in triggering the production of B cells and cytotoxic T cells (killer T cells). When activated by antigen-presenting cells, helper T cells release cytokines that stimulate B cells to produce antibodies and enhance the activation and proliferation of killer T cells. This coordinated response is essential for effectively targeting and eliminating pathogens.

The thymus produces both helper t and killer t cells in the fight against infection. The killer t cells eliminate harmful cells and organic materials from the bloodstream

Helper T cells activate killer T cells.

you would want killer t cells to be present because, they kill cells that are infected by viruses, and bacterium.
