“UV1 is a therapeutic cancer vaccine used to generate an immune response against the enzyme human telomerase (hTERT). The enzyme is essential for the ability of cancer cells to proliferate. Telomerase is present in 85-90% of all cancers, across the stages of the disease.” It’s a protein epitope vaccine against a normal human protein.

This recent study has developed an “inverse vaccine” for multiple sclerosis that apparently can make the immune system forget stuff:
