Hmm, Kabat is a numbering scheme for defining CDR1-3 positions (which differs from IMGT), not segment naming convention. Naming conventions are listed at http://imgt.org/IMGTrepertoire/index.php?section=LocusGenes&repertoire=nomenclatures&species=human&group=TRBV
Do you know there the Vβ annotation comes from? I can't find it anywhere, and just assumed it was from Kabat's 'Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest'.
I am believe the annotation used in this paper it is not an abbreviation of the IMGT annotation. First, there is no TRVB14-1 or TRVB13-1 (there is only a TRBV14 or TRBV13) and I have worked with a mouse TRB originally identified with Vβ8.2 which is TRBV13-2 in the present IMGT reference set.
It is amazing what you can get from tracing papers. It is an old nomenclature which is replaced by the Arden nomenclature.
In the 1995 papers 'Human T-cell receptor variable gene segment families' (PMID:8550092) and 'Mouse T-cell receptor variable gene segment families' (PMID:8550093) there are tables devoted to corrospondence between 'Official designation' and 'Previous designation'. I will scrutinize these tables and see how it matches with the annotation in this and #302 and #303
The nomenclature used in PMID:9971792 seems to follow Kabat
The TCR information in the paper is
