According to this article:

"… stated that he obtained the vials through his friend Zhang Tao, another researcher at the hospital.."

 

So a search in pubmed for publications by both

Zhang Tao and Zheng Xiaosong found -

 

"Deep Sequencing of the MHC Region in the Chinese Population Contributes to Studies of Complex Disease"

 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27213287-deep-sequencing-of-the-mhc-region-in-the-chinese-population-contributes-to-studies-of-complex-disease/?from_single_result=Zhang+Tao+AND+Zheng+Xiaosong

 

Could be others by those names but interesting…

 

Here is the abstract just in case…

"Abstract

The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region has been shown to be associated with numerous diseases. However, it remains a challenge to pinpoint the causal variants for these associations because of the extreme complexity of the region. We thus sequenced the entire 5-Mb MHC region in 20,635 individuals of Han Chinese ancestry (10,689 controls and 9,946 patients with psoriasis) and constructed a Han-MHC database that includes both variants and HLA gene typing results of high accuracy. We further identified multiple independent new susceptibility loci in HLA-C, HLA-B, HLA-DPB1 and BTNL2 and an intergenic variant, rs118179173, associated with psoriasis and confirmed the well-established risk allele HLA-C*06:02. We anticipate that our Han-MHC reference panel built by deep sequencing of a large number of samples will serve as a useful tool for investigating the role of the MHC region in a variety of diseases and thus advance understanding of the pathogenesis of these disorders."
