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.

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.

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
t cells are killer cells b cells are antibodies
T-cells B-cells NK cells (natural killer)
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.

Helper cells (e.g. T helper cells) play a role in activating the immune response by coordinating and stimulating other immune cells like killer cells (e.g. cytotoxic T cells) to target and destroy abnormal cells. Killer cells directly eliminate infected or abnormal cells by inducing programmed cell death. This coordinated effort helps the immune system effectively rid the body of threats.
